So, if you can build an RCA ALU from memory and explain it thoughrouly as well as show all of the gates, then its time to apply. So basically when you are ready.
Wow. Then I'm pretty far along too. I know my gates inside and out and can probably build an RCA ALU without much issue given enough free time. I still need to teach myself redstone flip flops so I can build registers. Sadly, I probably won't be able to finish this week due to my laptop's fan crapping out... What components and functions do you think one might need to build into an ALU to demonstrate a good amount of knowledge? Right now I've only built an adder/subtractor with comparison readings in subtract mode on the school server, but I've been diagramming Binary to BCD decoders in my down time (since my laptop is out of commission until I get my new fan). But do I even need to make a 7 seg display before applying to Build? Looking at the stuff on the build server, I felt like I was way behind, but maybe I'm expecting too much of myself?
