Your favorite thing about redstone:
I really love computational redstone, and farms. The reason for me to get into computational redstone is because I wanted a nice way to design and debug cpu architectures. I am just starting to learn some basics about embedded, learned some 6502, made some emulators. So don’t expect to much yet, I’m just here to learn.

I have been designing a 4 bit CPU for the past couple days, which I haven’t fully implemented in minecraft yet, but other players said I should just try to become a builder with what I have atm.

I don’t know whether to talk about the full CPU design, or just the part that I build. But I made the 4 bit ALU, with ADD, bitwise NOR, and bitwise XOR functions. My choice to only use these 3, is because of simplicity, you can do every other operation, with these 3, and my cpu if build for simplicity. Also I added a accumulator, to use for and store ALU operations. At last, (for now) a way to get and set the accumulator from the databus.

This is what I have build for now, I will add a picture of the rest of my design (which is still a work in progress, especially the control ROM). I hope to build the rest of the cpu on the server as well. Also I added a picture of what the ALU and A register look like rn.

I know, its nothing so far, but I know what it does REALLY well, and I designed everything myself, only getting a little inspiration by nibbler and MP-4 But as you can see, it doesn’t look like them at all eventually.

What is the name of the warp for your build on ORE?:
MOUNTAIN4BIT

I miss type once :sob: and before you think that it was slow, I was helping someone on the server at the same time. :sweat_smile:

Do you agree with the rules?:
Totally!!

Is the purple part an ALU or an Adder (I think so)? The bar for trial builds is at or over the level of a 4bit ALU.

It is indeed a very simple ALU design. And does that mean it is enough, or do you think I should work more on this build?

Your ALU should be capable of doing:

Addition and Subtraction

aswell as:

Bitwise OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR, AND + NAND

Do I have to build a ALU? I would think that designing a cpu would be enough te become a rank that would make me be able to actually build it. I have the knowledge, and can proof that with all the planning I did, as seen in the pictures.

I know what I am doing, I just need worldedit to be able to make it real.

These pictures are just sketches for my current project, but I have had more experience with other projects, outside of minecraft.

Is this still open, or did it get rejected?

It’s still open, but I’ll leave the decision up to Wueffi

I think for you it is pretty easy to fulfill our rather formal requirement. Feel free to ask a Builder to copy the ALU and other stuff you need.

I have now made a ALU, capable of doing everything a advanced ALU should do (ADD, ADC, SUB, NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, XNOR) It has a zero flag and a carry/overflow flag (light blue) for 8 (or more) bit adding, and conditional jumping. I purposely didn’t add a decoder (rom), because I think the decoder for the whole CPU should decide what to do with the options it has, for more customization.

Yay, your application has been accepted! Whenever both you and a staff member are free, feel free to ask them for a trial. You are able to try again after failing and waiting 24 hours with a maximun of 2 trials / 7 Days. It is always recommended to do a practice trial with another member before starting your real one.

Note: Im usually available from 14:00-19:00 CET ingame.
