application for Engineering in mine craft - croontrigger - 01-03-2018
My username is croontigger and my favorite thing about redstone is how much it resembles real life logic circuits. I really like how much I can do with redstone, and having knowledge of how each component works in the form of game mechanics such as knowing that a piston takes 3 game ticks to extend fully unless you give it a zero tick pulse, knowing things like that really helps to make amazing contraptions. My most proud creation is one that I have done recently which is a working slot machine. It works by the player dropping a diamond block into a ice and water stream which sends the item to an item sorter which starts the piston feed tape. If the item is not a diamond block, than it will get filtered out and given back to the player. When the machine starts, it moves the blocks around and the player can only see 5 of them, the contraption also has a mamory real using cauldrons which are in the same place as the diamond blocks that the player sees. when the diamond block lands in the center of the blocks that the player sees, the culdron lands next to a comparator which runs into a block that is only pushed between a repeater and the line that connects to the cauldron when the contraption stops, if they win, it drops 15 diamonds to the player. the feed tape stops running by a randomizer using a dropper and a hopper, when the diamond sword goes into the hopper a comparator gives a signal strength of 2 which activates a piston with an observer on it which deactivates the t flip flop that powers the piston feed tape clock. I don't know what I am going to build for my build trial and I do agree with the rules.
I would also like to point out that I am just a Junior in high school, but I am taking a digital electronics class and I am the top student in my class. I am very educated in the field of logic circuits and minecraft redstone, so please understand that I may be 17, but I am still very smart.

Do you have any knowledge of adders and ALUs? Also implementations of them in minecraft?

I do not know how to make adders and ALUs or the logic behind them but I understand how they work. I would assume that an adder would be a circuit with a butt ton of AND gates. I also know how to count in binary, so making an adder would just require me to make a truth table, and then simplify the equation using k-mapping, and then draw the AOI circuit for that equation, and then convert the AOI circuit to a circuit that uses only NAND gates, or only NOR gates, then I would build that circuit in mine craft, and it would work. But for an ALU, I don't quite understand what it is because I have never heard of it, but I am sure that if it was told to me, I would understand it very quickly. Trust me, if I was given a binary truth table, I could make it into a circuit.

I suggest that you learn more about implementations of adders and ALUs, and mostly just learn some good minecraft designs before applying to the build server. I understand that you know how to k-map, but for an adder that would be inefficient and horrible.
