In my first minecraft-related video, I show off one of my many redstone creations. I say "um and "uh" a good deal more than is civilized, but I hope that the amazingness of my creation will distract you from any faults in my narration. The video:
This device makes use of DeMorgan's Law to convert between the AND, NAND, OR, and NOR logical functions by inverting the Inputs and/or Output of the NAND gate at the core to yield the first set of functions.
"A NAND B" = NAND (duh)
"not(A NAND B)" = AND
"notA NAND notB" = OR
"not(notA NAND notB)" = NOR
The second set of functions, notA, A, FALSE and TRUE are the result of blocking-off the B input, and thus setting all its bits to Zero.
"A NOR Zero" = notA
"A OR Zero" = A
"A AND Zero" = FALSE
"A NAND Zero" = TRUE
The other thing of note in this design (which I apologize I didn't give you a better view of, I'll remedy that later in a "How to" video), is how compact it is. Horizontally, at least. Every unit of the device takes up only 2 blocks of horizontal space, and lies adjacent to its neighbors without any interference. This is the first component in the "Super-Compact ALU" that I am in the process of designing.
The 2 rules for my ALU is that every component must be of maximal narrowness (repeatable every 2 blocks), and must be able to perform more than one function. I've just completed the prototype of a super-narrow Full Adder, which I'll have a video for soon. All of my creations thus far have been based on a super-compact XOR gate that I invented, which I'll make a tutorial video for how to make. Yes, there will be many more videos to come.

You can build it bigger, you can build it better, but you can only spend 100 pesos.
I'll be getting to work soon on making videos about more computer components and eventually a tutorial about how to build this device any many related ones.

Is it me or did anybody else read this with a "Mad Scientist saying something really fast" voice?
Heh, I always read everything by Hans with a lemur voice.
At first, I thought that this was ridiculously big for what it was doing, and then I realised that it had 4 inputs and outputs. Brilliant work there, though I don't think I'll ever use this.
So you built this four times just for demonstative purposes? (eight imputs and four outputs.)
I think it is a very interesting creation even if not pratically useful.
I built 4 of them in parallel so that I could show all 4 input-combinations at the same time. Also, any computer system that uses this device will be using a whole bank of them in parallel similar to what I had set up. An 8-bit computer would use 8 MFLGs in its ALU, and so the component would be twice as wide.

Yeah, your posts are pretty amusing. Especially with your avatar's expression.
I'm sure it can be used, but I just have no use for it. I don't have the patience to build something like that. I just stick to the mechanical aspects of minecraft.

And you do those very well. I first learned how to make a Boat Elevator from you!
Damn, how do you make a true and false gate? They seem very challenging.
Oh, it's really quite tricky, I assure you. It's so very complicated that few people even DARE to try to build them on their own or to even imagine the limitless possibilities that they represent for computer systems.
The few who do attempt it for the most part simply stick a torch in the ground and call it a day. They don't appreciate the beauty of building a massive contraption and setting it up to do literally nothing at all.

Good job, but this isn't done. There is still 8 more functions to implement for it to be fully powerful:
XOR, XNOR, B, NOT(B ), A→B, NOT(A→B ), B→A, NOT(B→A).
Since that gives 16 possibilities, then you'll need 4 OP-bits instead of the current 3.
I have a idea on how you can address these OP codes to make things easy.
Bit 1 inverts the output.
Bit 4 shifts between two modes:
MODE 0 featuring an OR-gate:
Bit 3 inverts A
Bit 2 inverts B
MODE 1 featuring an XOR-gate:
Bit 3 disables A (set to 0)
Bit 2 disables B (set to 0)
In this way you'll get the following addresses:
0000: OR
0001: NOR
0010: B→A
0011: NOT(B→A)
0100: A→B
0101: NOT(A→:cool.gif:
0110: NAND
0111: AND
1000: XOR
1001: XNOR
1010: A
1011: NOT(A)
1100: B
1101: NOT(:cool.gif:
1110: FALSE
1111: TRUE
It will with no doubt be much bigger, but that's the pain of the game.
Btw. It is always interesting to hear the voice to someone that you only have seen writing. But I wouldn't have expected a lemur voice like some other in here.
EDIT: Can we get a schematic please?
Oh, good idea there to group "input-inversion" and the "OR" operation together, and then when switching to XOR mode and input-inversion becomes useless to change the control-scheme to disabling the inputs. I thought of a similar scheme for an idea I had to integrate XOR and XNOR into the MFLG in place of TRUE and FALSE. Swapping between OR and XOR is the biggest challenge, since no combination of input inversion and input-disabling will get you XOR type functionality. XOR is completely alien to all the other kinds of gates.
An annoyance I had after my initial idea to put all 16 functions into 1 device was diminishing returns.
1 control-bit will get you 2 functions (output inversion)
2 control-bits will get you 4 functions (joint input inversion)
3 control-bits will get you 8 functions (separate input inversion or single input disable)
4 control-bits will get you 12 functions (separate input inversion AND single input disable)
5 control-bits will get you 14 functions (dual input-disable)
Upon realizing this, I decided to scale down my design to just take 3 control-bits and 8 functions, since that was the best control/function ratio.
When I was pondering XOR integration, I realized that although it would require a 4th control-bit, I didn't have to use input-inversion and input-disable at the same time, and could compress the coding for the "8 useful functions" into 3 input bits. However, I didn't make the leap that you did that although a Universal Gate requires 6 control-bits, you can actually get all the functions with just 4 inputs, so thanks for that!
In further good news, when designing my "2-thick full adder", I was toying around with the vertical XOR design and realized that you could modify it so that a 3rd input going into its "Middle torch" could toggle its operation from XOR to OR. With this discovery, and your system of coding, I think that I should be able to make a "Universal Logic Gate".
It's a pity that it won't be possible to make the control-code for XOR be "0110" so that the code for all the gates will be the same as their truth-table. I know I could do that if I OR'd together "AND, A!->B, B!->A, and NOR" and the control-bits selectively blocked the output of each. But if I did that, then I wouldn't be able to keep the units 2-blocks thick. I guess I'll just have to settle for a gate which is merely "Universal" in function. Sigh...
I'll see if I can get a schematic made-up for other people to peruse, but I'm not quite sure WHICH design I should make. 4-function? 8-funtion? Universal? I haven't even tested the universal one in-game yet, so don't have a full sense of how everything would get wired together. It's a challenge to build it in Redstone sim given how much vertical interaction is needed, but at least it should only be 7-8 blocks tall.
Heh, I remember when I used to think that the vertical D Flip-Flop design was massive and incomprehensibly complex.
I still use your Easy-to-use farm design(which is intrapped in achives of Alpha mode subforum) And now you make this? I see some people actually called you mad, so I'll call you... Mad scientist(in a good way) :biggrin.gif:
Yay! A long term fan! There'll be a bit of mad scientest stuff in my next video of a RAM prototype, so keep your eyes peeled, as I'll be uploading it tomorrow.

Well anyway... I can certainly imagine this being a massive space-saver for redstone computers. Some kind of schematic or diagram or tutorial of a single universal gate would be enough if they can just be placed right next to each other without interfering.

The MFLG will definately be a space-saver in any ALU. I'll do a tutorial for it eventually after I show how to make the compact XOR gates that govern it.

I dunno if this has already been said, but if you put an extra XOR onto the output of this gate you can activate it to do NAND, NOR, XNOR, NOT, and any other things like that that require an inverse.

It will be part of an ALU. Not the one in the video, since that lacks XOR, but a more advanced model. That combined with an Adder/Subtractor and a Left/Right shifter will give me all the operations I need to perform any computation. Once my secret project is completed I'll probably make my ALU.
