What do you like the most about redstone?: building computational hardware
What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: rca alu, cca alu, binary-bcd converter, 7seg display
What does the thing do?: speaking about the binary to bcd converter i want to first explain why bcd is useful. you could have a binary number you want to display on a screen like 3 7 segment displays but you have a individual decoder line for every possible binary number and run that through a rom and then have that display on a screen that would be difficult and very time consuming because you would have to have a individual decoder line for every single possible number. instead of using 10 lines, you can encode each decimal digit into a four bit binary number. This is a playing part on how the double dabble algorithm has a role in decoding.
Explaining what the alu can do it preforms mathematical operations more or less like the brain of the cpu. you can implement logic gates by a combination of the alu's functions like !b !a FC Cin or a OR gate function. this machine makes it easy to subtract using 2's compliment add, multiply or divide.

What do you plan on making for your build trial?: 4bit alu rca
Yes i agree with all the rules! ofc
