What do you like the most about redstone?:
It’s versatility, you can make an automated farm, a tnt cannon, even a computer
What’s a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?:
An instant 4 bit nand gate ALU; INAND, ShayHi designed the gates used in it, and the registers used were found in a youtube tutorial
What does the thing do?:
Basic addition and subtraction

What do you plan on making for your build trial?:
A non-instant nand gate 4 bit alu
Do you agree with the rules?:
Yes

Does the ALU only do Addition and Subtraction or does it also do Bitwise Logic?

Currently Addition and Subtraction, the other operations require manual input modification

Does that mean the circuit itself can’t perform those operations?

Yes, for now, I hope to add more function

Subtraction is done with 2s complement

Generally if a circuit does only addition and subtraction, the proper term is “Adder-Subtractor” rather than “ALU”. The ALU would need to be capable of Addition, Subtraction, and Bitwise Operations.

Yes, there are ways I can add that; a toggleable not gate before the registers, and other operators

Post a picture to this thread once you finish the modifications.

Do you mean bit shifting operations or adding all logic operations

Bitwise Operations include: OR, NOR, AND, NAND, XOR, XNOR

Ok, I will add each toggleable gate and reply when I am done

Im just going to try to do that on just 2 separate adders, wiring would be a nightmare

I’d recommend seeing if someone online can teach you about ALUs, there’s some simpler ways to go about it.

true, I learn well when I do things, and I can also learn different instant gate designs as well.
