This is my 11 Character ASCII Word Processor created in association with the Redstone Development Foundation.
It has a full 94 character keyboard (+ 1 secret character) with 4 function keys, and is capable of displaying up to 11 characters at a time. It can be expanded to display more characters by tiling the displays further to the right (up to chunkmax).
The system automatically keeps track of where the "cursor" should be, so typing is extremely easy.
Another bug-fix. A row of redstone did not get saved in the lower-case letters section of the decoder. Fixed and re-uploaded. Don't know why random bits are not getting saved, but I'll keep fixing them as I / you find them.
Each display has it's own built in memory. When the a key is pressed, the decoder pulses the selected character into the display, which stores and displays the character until it is reset by one of the function keys. It's a bit more complicated than that, but I'll go into more detail in the upcoming video.
As for the size, I think it's quite small considering there's ~2,400 bits of ROM, a 100 input keyboard, 275 bits of RAM, and a 4 function semi-automatic addressing system crammed in there. :wink.gif:
Grizdale: Each pixel in the display is programmable. Each character is stored as a "program" in the decoder array behind the displays. The decoder programs the currently selected display with the proper character every time a key is pressed. Check out my original single character display to get a better idea of how the decoder works.
Fat Cat RoR: No worries :smile.gif: You use a world editing program such as MCEdit to add the .schematic to your world / server.

I'm very confused!
The_Battousai: I looked into it, and a torch was missing. I've fixed it and reuploaded. Thanks for catching that!
Anytime!
