The Powder Toy

Does anyone else look at TPT processors....

    And think to themselves "wtf?"

    I don't know about you, but really, the forum instructions to me don't make much sense.

    So, as a result, the primary thing I do with the processors is put thermite or C4 in them and then blow them up and then watch the thing break down. Of course, it would be more fun if I knew how to use the thing before breaking it, but really, it is the only thing I know how to do with the processors.

    Me no understand.
    Me smash.

    I look at it and think "How can I make this component better?". lol

    The only way I ever understand them is by making ( while figuring it out myself) my own version. This helps to give a reason for something working or gives an insight into what it does.

    I'm still new to electronics. But I can sort of use them.

    This makes me sad :(
    My one has a keyboard :) see if you can figure it out, if you can't just ask questions, try and make them as specific as possible you don't want to end up with a Feynman WHY lecture :P

    Sorry to revive this topic, but I want to say that they have become a bit easier via keyboards and better interface, but they are still very confuzzling. Worse, they now have more indestructable components.

    So, how do you use your processors work? (you being whoever is looking at this and has made a processor.)

    Pouring thermite on them is starting to get boring.

    If you still want to blow them up, just replace the material with something like brick, then place thermite on it.

    Before you can know how to use the processor, you need to know what the components do. Then you link things up and understand why something does something, and how.

    I understand basic logic gates, but I cannot visualize/ comprehend them working together cohesively.

    But still, you can use a modern computer without knowing what is in it.....
