Smallest alpha adder?

[Nickster258]

Heyo!

I was playing around the other day and challenged to make a smaller adder than I previously had.

This is what I came up with.

Yep, being 5x4x5 and 100 blocks per bit, it exceeds every 2-wide alpha adder I have seen.

Is there any smaller?!

Wowza

that's pretty cool that you made it so small, but it is unfortunately not as compact because it is 4 blocks wide which if you made for example an 8 bit adder, it would be huge compared to a 2 wide one. I would say this is insanely good for something small scale though

This is still technically smaller than any 2-wide I have seen. With easy ways to do OR/AND/!A/!B, this is awesome and still smaller than any other.

that thing is fucking huge nick...

I would make a joke regarding private parts but I am good.

I HAZ SMALLUR!

Give me a moment to post pictures and mathsy stuff

Dimensions: 8 * 6 * 2 = 96
-And it's TILEABLE!!!!

Do you mean...

... "fair"?

Well I'm much fair.

I bet there's a way making an even smaller alpha adder by ignoring tilability and such :o

RACE TO DA SMALLEST 4DD3R that is 9 bits tilable

I made both of these adders in beta 1.4_01 and neither of them worked.

Then you must of done something wrong. This logic trails all the way back to alpha and hasn't changed since.

Actually, there have been some changes to the mechanics of basic redstone since alpha. The problem is considering these differences on our 1.5.x server causes a dilemma. Do we want to design a component that is based exactly on the rules in the alpha game or do we want to base it on the tools that were available in the alpha game?
Both me and Nick have aimed for the latter and thus assuring that it is completely functional in the modern game, but based on the spirit of alpha.

One could argue, if the game was to forever stay alpha, never adding any new content to the game, these changes would've happened anyway.

^ that pretty much sums it up. I can make a video of the derpyness later

[RandOMFG]

One example is when you place a torch on top of a block, and then place one piece of dust next to that block, the dust would instantly connect to the block, but wouldn't actually power it when the dust was activated. There were two ways to fix this. Either by placing a block on top of the dust or making the wire longer than one block.
Another change is the wire not connecting to torches on the side of a block anymore. This was to make the dust act more likewise with torches as it would with repeaters.
Yet another change that has been made was after Sethbling made a series where he explained redstone bugs to a Mojang-employee where the redstone torch-burnouts were made more predictable. This isn't a big problem when it comes to logic though.

I made an adder exactly the same size about a year ago
I'm pretty sure there are no smaller 4 wides atleast, not sure about 3, 2 wide etc.

Well, what if the fair isn't fair? ...wait what XD
