Hello I am _Mystery_Man and last year I was accepted for trail however I was pretty busy. So I decided to put in a new application for builder.
Minecraft name : _Mystery_Man
What do like the most about redstone ? : I love the fact that it can be used to do binary calculations. That has been my main reason for playing this game and it helps visualize what logic gates can do.
What's a thing you have made which demonstrates Redstone knowledge? :
I have Some projects I have made in the past few months. Fast adders, shift based dividers and multipliers, Fibonacci sequence adders etc.
Links to video and explanations :
Shift and add multiplier
The multiplier works by shifting the A register to the left and the B register to the right. If the least significant value is a 1 on B, it will add A to the accumulating value.
ICA adder
The ICA adder uses accelerated ripple carry logic that is done by using piston update order to preform calculations in a tick.
Shift and subtract divider
The divider works by taking input A and shifting left starting from the most significant bit. If the value of a is greater than or equal to B, it will subtract and replace the old value in the shift register of A in divider. The output is the carry out flag for the conditional subtractor.
Fibonacci sequence adder
The adder uses one accumulator on the top and simply is wired in a way to add to it self by 0+1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2,
2+1 = 3, 3+2 = 5,5+3 = 8 and so on. essentially repeaters on a delay hold the previous calculation along with the new one.
What do you plan on making for your build trial?
I'll be doing one of three options for the trail.
Option 1 - I build a Serial Alu with : invert-B, Carry in, or, xor , and , invert output which adds more options.
input will be 4 bits and out will be 5 for demonstration.
Option 2 - I build an ICA 4 bits
Option 3 - Fibonacci sequence adder, 4 bits, similarly to the video.
Do you agree with rules? : yes
