this is really cool! i found a bug while playing it though. when inputting the letter 'a' it would come up with a different vowel noticeably 'i' , unless another vowel has already been inputted? this may not be 100% accurate bug, but noticed it the last few times i was playing it. but Bravo!!!!

Are you sure you are not sending guesses to quickly as this may be a reason for it. Otherwise thanks for trying it out, glad you liked it
Doesn't work, i pressed the button first time i loaded map, waited, then new game. When i press a letter then send guess, a random letter comes up on screen such as after i press I a G comes up.

Just take the loss, and let everything reset itself.
You submit it to the videos section, and if the admins like your video enough they will spotlight it.
Didn't work for "Minecraft in Minecraft", but I suppose I could have marketed it better overall. Maybe I'll have better luck when I make an 8-color mk2 version of it.
Anyways, when I was watching your technical video, I couldn't help but think that you could have gotten some significant size-savings in Data-Storage if you had encoded all of your letters in 5-bit binary rather than using 26 different lines for each letter. Did you contemplate binary data at all and decide against it? I'm not criticizing your decisions, it's just that I would have jumped at the opportunity to reduce the size of my memory banks by a factor of 5. I personally start contemplating binary whenever I'm facing a number of "things" greater than 8.
Binary does add a layer of complexity due to the need for a decoder, but it's been my experience that if you have a good decoder design it pays for itself pretty quickly.
All in all a good project you've done here. You were able to solve the conceptual problems relating to data selection, retrieval and interpretation without totally neglecting aesthetics. I smiled a little when I saw the nice graphic you had set up for the face of the soon to be hanged man.

Look here to find links to my inventions, creations, and my Youtube channel featuring Amazing Creations of Mine (Redstone engineering FTW!!!) and charming Music-Videos about clones. I also made "Minecraft in Minecraft" (2D platformer/building game). I'm currently trying to make a computer.

We know we could have optimized it a LOT. In our newer builds (this was made over 2 months ago, by the way; we get backed up with releases sometimes) we use things like serial transmission, automated self solving RNGs (for a blackjack build, to prevent a 0 and anything higher than a king from generating), and stuff like that. Thank you for the nice comments.
Heh, I totally understand "Built that Months ago, but only just showed it now". I still have yet to make a follow-up video showing my best RAM design, and so my only RAM video is from last June and is a horribly obsolete design.
One of the great ironies of large projects is that by the time you're done with them, you FINALLY have a good idea of how you should have built it, but it's too late to go back and fix. This results in a phenomenon where every completed project is "Obsolete". Well, maybe obsolete is too strong a word, since it's still useable, but it's still annoying.

Magnificent!!
Just tried it out, and it is without a doubt one of the best Redstone creations I have seen so far.
I found another bug. I played a game and lost. The word that appeared was LOSS.
Then I started a new game. After a few guesses, I had only filled the last blank as E.
Now when I lost, the word that appeared was LOSS again.

It's suppoed to say loss. It overrides your input, and displays whether you won or lost, not what the word was.
Oh, wow, that looks awesome.
Must've definatly took a long time - especially with all that redstone wiring!
I will definatly download that when I get the chance. (I don't have Minecraft on my computer, it's on my Dad's! ) It looks awesome, really cool layout and stuff.
I'm playing it now
realy mind blowing how cool this is I wish I could make stuff like this

Head over to our YouTube channel and check some out that we prepared earlier

Just wait for the letter or segment from the previous turn to pop up before you guess again. And if that still fails press the new game button.
Thanks a lot! We appreciate the feedback.
cause when i put a P an A apeared as correct????
The first game you play with this machine will be dodgy, considering you're trying to load burning out torches, which confuses minecraft.
Also, both Send Guess buttons work as one. It's just so it's centered.
