WARP: mPaint2

Features:
Directly mapped button to pixel keypad. (no need for a cursor!)

Screen fill
Selector for writing 1s or 0s to the screen. (Paintbrush / Eraser)

7 slots of rewritable picture memory. (8th slot reserved for a possible networking upgrade.)

During serial Load / Save, the screen output is disabled to reduce client / server lag. (Lots of scrolling serial redstone lamp updates!)






Comparison with mPaint v1:

This can easily be converted into a fully useable screen.

yup, the core of this screen is my 2x2 D-latch design that also allows propogation to the next D-latch below it. Each cell takes 3 inputs: Serial enable, Data in, and Clock.

Serial enable controls a comparator read which takes the upper latch output and lets it go to the lower latch's input.
It's also naturally 2 tick serial, so it would be very easy to interface with loads of stuff.



Reading from this screen serially is destructive, but I worked around that by having the data loop back and relatch on that orange global bus.

(If you're wondering why the data and clock inputs are connected, I use an SS of 1 to write a zero and an SS of 2 or more to write a one)

Very cool. Might try and make a little bit bigger screen and use it for the display of my GPU idea.
