Solarsphere1's builder application

Minecraft name: solarsphere1

What do you like the most about redstone?:

I like redstone because I can use it to play with and implement custom computer designs without having to buy physical hardware, but also because much like physical parts, it includes it’s own set of unique implementation challenges not found in something like a hardware description language, for example. This makes for a fun and engaging medium that’s analogous to building a computer with your hands but with almost none of the associated cost.

What’s a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?:
A 4 bit RCA ALU. It is a custom design based off the 16-bit ALU featured in the Nand2Tetris course/book.

What does the thing do?:
It provides many 4 bit functions including but not limited to addition, subtraction, logical AND, logical OR, increment, and decrement.

What did you make as your trial build?:
The ALU described above.

What is the warp for your trial build?:
/warp solarsphere1

Do you agree with the rules?:
Yes.

You mentioned the ALU can perform bitwise OR and AND, is it able to perform other bitwise operations? (Namely: OR, NOR, AND, NAND, XOR, XNOR) Generally those are the required bitwise operations for a trial ALU.

It can do NOR and NAND but not XOR or XNOR. I can add XOR and XNOR if that’s required.

That’d would be great if you can add them. Just respond here when you get them done, thanks!

OK, I just added XOR and XNOR.

This 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. It is always recommended to do a practice trial with another member before starting your real one.
