Advanced programmable computer

[hybrid scaffold]

This is a computer that can be programmed in Binary. So far it can only write variables. But later on it will be able to read variables, do math, and maybe stuff like if statements and while loops. This is located in Room 2 in the code "Wires". Just be warned, ITS VERY LAGGY!!

[rancid meteor]

WHAT....

[hybrid scaffold]

got a little too silly

[cunning obsidian]

Yeeps gave us basic wiring tools and people made computers 😭

[torn elm]

bro wth 😭

[cunning obsidian]

Ain’t no way

[hybrid scaffold]

uses around 3k blocks btw

[cunning obsidian]

Dang

[tiny python]

I don’t speak smart

[hybrid scaffold]

and is 0.05% as powerful as the original NES

[cunning obsidian]

How do you even compare that 😭

[hybrid scaffold]

I don’t even remember how I did tbh

[cunning obsidian]

Lol

[hybrid scaffold]

Might not be completely accurate anymore

[cunning obsidian]

That’s crazy though

[tiny python]

“This is a basic way” bro, I don’t understand any of it 😭

[cunning obsidian]

Lmao same

[hybrid scaffold]

the wiring they gave us is actually the most advanced form of wiring. All of the logic gates are exactly what computers irl use. The computer I made in the video is very similar to how a computer works irl, however there would be billions of that single build in a real pc.

[cunning obsidian]

Dang

I have no idea what half of those blocks do

😭

[hybrid scaffold]

if you know computer science then it’s actually really simple.

[tiny python]

I know what all the block do, I could just never build something this scale

[cunning obsidian]

Someone’s gonna figure out how to make bad apple I swear

[hybrid scaffold]

That’s my next goal

[cunning obsidian]

oh what have I done

[hybrid scaffold]

that would be extremely difficult because of how slow the wiring is though

[cunning obsidian]

True

[hybrid scaffold]

would have to make it like 2 fps and very low res

[cunning obsidian]

I mean it’s probably possible

[hybrid scaffold]

true

[cunning obsidian]

People make it on anything these days lol

[hybrid scaffold]

if I wanna finish this build. I’m also gonna need to be the first person to make division, multiplication, and subtraction (I think someone has done subtraction before idk)

so time to learn how real computers do math with binary operators.. yay

[umbral wraith]

Wow! This is impressive, I'm still working on how to make race tracks work 😭

[hybrid scaffold]

thanks 😅

[carmine dirge]

W

[shrewd mauve]

cpu when?

[hybrid scaffold]

It’s not really a cpu. More just a bunch of checks to point the data to a certain area.

I already made it though

just need to make more commands

[shrewd mauve]

so the alu?

[hybrid scaffold]

I think

[coarse wagon]

This is insane. I understand hiw it works, kinda. I don't know if I would be able to build this tho

[hybrid scaffold]

thanks

[pulsar sphinx]

dude, HOW?
It this point i wouldn’t be surprised if someone is able to run a game in Yeeps lol

[hybrid scaffold]

I’m gonna try to program tic tac toe once I finish the full thing and add game loops

[hybrid scaffold]

don’t know if I could fit that in less than 6k blocks though :/

[rancid meteor]

Can it run doom tho?😏

[hybrid scaffold]

no way on earth will it be able to compute 3d graphics

it can’t even count higher than 15

that’d be insane though

[rancid meteor]

Its still funny how they ran doom on the worlds smallest pc

[hybrid scaffold]

also the screen is like 4 x 4

can’t do much on that

[hybrid scaffold]

lights out, tic tac toe… uhhh, I don’t know any other games that might work on it.

[shadow turret]

Raytracing in yeeps would go crazy

[gentle zealot]

im tryna make tetris rn I have a 8 bit adder and 400 bits of read only rom

[heavy iris]

Man I struggle making a door open the right way, known an entire computer. Looks absolutely insane

[remote swift]

Can it play doom?

[shrewd sand]

Fantastic work on that build. Yes I completely agree, I've been saying how true to computer science the Yeeps wiring is compared to redstone, logic gates are the key.

[mental furnace]

Nebulea spotted

[hybrid scaffold]

it’s like 0.05% as powerful as the original NES. I’ll let you be the judge of that.

I will try to make loops, if statements, and multithreaded tasking later though. That should make the computer at least a little more useable.

[hybrid scaffold]

Thanks

actually sketching out the memory, CPU, etc, that would be built. Took me around 4 months to do, until I stumbled upon this design that worked really well.

so I went through a lot of pain to make this. And I actually got depression for like a week while trying to build a previous model. I didn’t even want to do anything.

[still yew]

Make it run Tetris better then my computer built to run Tetris

This is crazy thou

I wonder how simple of a computer we would have to build to get it to run full programs

[hybrid scaffold]

problem is. Because it's so big and supports playmode programming. It's extremely slow and the screen must be very small (4x4ish)

if you were to build something specifically for one thing like Tetris. It would probably function very well.

I'm thinking about changing the memory to be cartages that I preprogram with games in it. Could save a lot of blocks and I could do more with it.

[hybrid scaffold]

that'd take so long to do though :/

[rich bronze]

I really like this and wanna see more for sure but,

There's a limit on the amount of blocks you can have, 5999 to be exact

Sooo...

It can't get too complex

[hybrid scaffold]

yeah I know that

[hybrid scaffold]

I am thinking about doing this ^
And making the CPU look through all the data so the memory doesn't take up so many blocks.

[still yew]

Allready done

[still yew]

Do it, I can help if you need

[wide steppe]

next level boredom

[still yew]

Wdym?

[wide steppe]

like you have to be really bored and nothing else to do this kind of mega build

im not hating or anything this is amazing

[still yew]

Fair. Wiring is hard

[hybrid scaffold]

also sorry I was wrong about this. It's over 4k.

So I definitely need to change how the programming works to be like a cartridge that you manually go in and change or something.

that would save so many blocks and I could actually add more screen space

[still yew]

I feel there is only so far we can push yeeps

I got basic wiring to break in multiplayer

So test it with multiple people

[hybrid scaffold]

I'm way too tired to continue working on this so I'll probably finish it some other day.

[still yew]

What if you built a computer to run a spesific program?

Like pong or somthinf

[frosty hedge]

Nah that’s crazy u probably build with a lot of redstine in monecrafr right?

[hybrid scaffold]

I don’t know minecraft redstone

[frosty hedge]

How

[hybrid scaffold]

my 3 years of computer programming definitely helps though

minecraft redstone is quite different from how actual computers work

[hybrid scaffold]

Although minecraft redstone is much faster than yeeps wiring. They both have advantages and disadvantages I guess.

[still yew]

Btw would you be interested in working on a wiring project?

[hybrid scaffold]

what is it

I'm also gonna remake the entire thing

so I can make it faster and stuff

[whole niche]

Can it run doom though?

[hybrid scaffold]

makin new design :)

wait you cant have more than 64 buttons??

D:

well that ruins the entire idea

[nimble siren]

what if you activated every command at once lol

[still yew]

Idk making a specialised computer to do a specific task efficently.
Like a game or something

I was told to make a machine where you can type out a gaget on a keyboard. And it would spit out the gaget

[still yew]

I wanna see if I could get raytracing

[heavy iris]

I know some people use trapped wood instead of buttons in other worlds, if that's possible with the idea your going with.

[still yew]

Here me out. Binary counters?

It's a great way to cause suffering

[hybrid scaffold]

line selector

[still yew]

Why don't you use a binary decoder?

I guess you can count down easily then.

[hybrid scaffold]

It’s not binary numbers

[still yew]

True. But you could input the number of what memory your according in binary. Then decode it to get the correct area

Would be fast, but not user friendly

It's how I accessed my solid memory in my Tetris build, it was automated so I didn't need to be used friendly

[still yew]

I'm gonna attempt to make a computer that can run a program, or atleast a turing complete one

[hybrid scaffold]

how mine works is the last five toggles tell the CPU which commmand to execute (10010 would be addition for example) and the first eight are the parameters (for example, which numbers to add together)

[versed gazelle]

This is awesome, if you could teach me any tips for the wires + gates!

[hybrid scaffold]

remaking the computer to hold more data while having less blocks

now the cpu actually decides which line to run. Meaning things like while loops, if statements would be much easier to make.

[hoary smelt]

This guy: ADVACED PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER

Me: knights and custom castle!

[hybrid scaffold]

lol

[hoary smelt]

This is actually in reference to a post I put up here

#1320845876482150400

[hoary smelt]

Check it out if you have time

[feral bloom]

wowie

[hybrid scaffold]

wonder how long this’ll take me to finish

[quaint eagle]

Using this many transmitters will definitely lead to inconsistencies

It may be more efficient, but I would suggest using a bus

I’m also building a computer myself, but I’m struggling with ram, already got an op code interpreter, a system to store and in programs, and I have a prototype adder/subtractor, but I cannot get efficient ram

Cause I have to use a bus or it lags and breaks

So having ram as large as yours is defidently gonna have some errors, maybe instead of having transmitters for every address you could use 1 set of transmitters every 4 or 8 addresses

[quaint eagle]

Also why are there 4 extra bits on the right side?

[hybrid scaffold]

(it’s 5 extra)
How it works is: the 5 bits tell the cpu which command to execute. Then the 8 bits on the left are the parameters.

for example: 11010 is the add command. And 11000000 is the parameter value for “3”. Then you run another add command to set the second value. And then if the command after that is a command to set a variable. It will set the variable to the result.

[quaint eagle]

Oh I’m using the assembly made by angry Yeep, which uses a stack for all the parameters

[quaint eagle]

So it runs through the program step by step, and if it’s the add function it adds byte 1 of the stack to byte 2 and there are operations to push stack pop tye stack read and write ram etc

[hybrid scaffold]

not the most optimized thing but it works really well

I just want something to work for now. I plan to add multi threading later.

[feral bloom]

so many wires

[hybrid scaffold]

my newer model has even more wires 🔥

[slate hearth]

you @plucky onyx and @still yew and me should make a computer that can run DOOM
cause if theres a screen it can run doom

[hybrid scaffold]

yeeps wiring isn’t powerful enough to compute 3d stuff

too slow as well

[slate hearth]

ik lol

[hybrid scaffold]

mainly cus of the block limit

[slate hearth]

it ws a joke but would be cool

[hybrid scaffold]

yeah

[slate hearth]

well there may be a higher block limit soon

[hybrid scaffold]

I wish they would add the ability to dynamically change the color of screens during play mode 🔥

[slate hearth]

ik

[slate hearth]

cause in creative mode you could make it so an item dispenser puts paint out and paints it

[hybrid scaffold]

🤷‍♂️

[slate hearth]

?

[hybrid scaffold]

You’d have to make the screen be above you

would be cool though

[slate hearth]

huh

you just make the item dispenser drop paint on the screen then fell into like a bucket of wood
has to be in creative tho

[river marsh]

Go it so just make at least 500,000 and we have an NES. Pretty simple

Hey I’m not the absolute best like you are but I know my way around wires so could I maybe try and help you make the calculator at some point

[river marsh]

HEAR ME OUT if you have a line selector could you theoretically make snake
Eh eh

[slate hearth]

yo

snake in yeeps wpuld be sick

[hybrid scaffold]

already made one

I deleted it though

[river marsh]

And snake?

[hybrid scaffold]

I can probably program that once I finish the computer

it would run so slowly though

[slate hearth]

wehn you do lmk

[quaint eagle]

Snake is pretty easy to make

I made one that uses large pulse extenders, so that the tails pulse extenders always runs out right when the snake moves

[hybrid scaffold]

should be quite easy to make snake with this computer tbh

[still yew]

Verry easy

I'm gonna use your idea of ram and make a program as computer, hardest part will be functions

[slate hearth]

do you still have it

[obtuse spoke]

MrDuck will you be willing to help with cookie clicker in yeeps

[slate hearth]

wild

[quaint eagle]

Nah it was a temporary wilds build with some friends

[slate hearth]

ok

[quaint eagle]

The hardest part wa stew apple so we just gave up on it

[hybrid scaffold]

remake is going well

[hybrid scaffold]

done

now time to work on the cpu

[quaint eagle]

Have you tested it? Cause whenever my builds have too many transmitters it just breaks and never works

[still yew]

I'd use a line of wires if I were you. Less lag

Then have the transmitters at the bottom of each line

Trust me it's better

[quaint eagle]

Yeah i said the amaze thing, this will not run once the rest is finished

[hybrid scaffold]

yeah works fine. This version is actually way more simple than the last.

[quaint eagle]

Really

I’ll take the risk for mine then, but not nearly that many

That’s wild

[hybrid scaffold]

each slot thing you see is one line of code you can write. It’s just 27 of those pasted on top of each other.

and the cpu decides which line to run with the things on the very left

[quaint eagle]

Oh I forgot this isn’t exactly ram this also the program storage

[hybrid scaffold]

it’s more a cartridge

each line I have is also labeled as a number 0 - 26 in binary. It’s really easy to make a +1 or -1 thing in binary with just a bunch of toggles.

when the cpu is done executing a task. It adds one to the currently running line and then asks the memory what the value is there.

CPU can also easily change which line to execute if there’s a game loop or something

[quaint eagle]

Can you change the parameters mid program?

Or are parameters set?

[hybrid scaffold]

no not really

that’s what variables are for

[quaint eagle]

How do they work?

[hybrid scaffold]

there is a command you can run to set a variable in RAM. And when using an add command for example. You can pass the “name” of that variable and it’ll look for the value in the variable.

[quaint eagle]

Oh so the parameters are used for variable addresses

Not just for the number start will be used

I thought if you did add 0001 and add 0010 it would add those two numbers together, but I guess it adds the value of those variables, right?

[hybrid scaffold]

yes

[quaint eagle]

Ok I get it

[hybrid scaffold]

might make it so you can also just pass those in as plain numbers

[bright jasper]

Can It run doom?

[quaint eagle]

And how many bits is your computer?

[hybrid scaffold]

nope :(

[hybrid scaffold]

don’t really know how to measure that

haven’t even started working on ram or the cpu yet (for the new model)

[quaint eagle]

But parameters would probably have to be the amount too

Since the cpu cull compute the parameters

I’m gonna do 4bit but I’m also not that good at optimizing large scale wiring

[quaint eagle]

I got a question for you, I’m building a system to store the program for my computer, it uses 32 modules that count down the line 1 by 1, but I can’t decide between 2 module types, the first one is only 4 long, 2 wide, and 4 tall, it is simply buttons with lights and toggles to show you what value it is, but you can not clear it so you have to turn off each bit 1 at a time the second version is 8 long 2 wide and 4 tall but it can clear with a single button. Which one should I choose?

They both 4 bit btw

[quaint eagle]

Revive

This one died real fast

[hybrid scaffold]

yeah

[tropic yacht]

Can you do a video on how to make the line selectors please

[quaint eagle]

It’s just a bunch of and gates

So let’s say the lines “id” is 1010 you just have to do 4 and gates with transmitters on them, then if the digit is a one you put a wire in between If it’s a zero it would be a not gate in between. So back to 1010 it would be a wire then not then wire then not, now whenever the transmitters are powered with that combination all the and gates fire.

Wait if you want the up and down one, it seems that retry simple I just can’t tell what exactly he has

[marble lance]

https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1321695862774304851

[still yew]

How does your CPU work?
Is it gonna be a instruction based computer? Or will is be pure hardware

[tropic yacht]

Yea about that I’m really bad with wires so I’m real confused

[still yew]

What i reckon i might do.
Is a function will redirection the commands into itself, then the string of commands continues from there until a exit function is called

This way I could loop through and do a program with some ram

[still yew]

Fair

[hybrid scaffold]

the CPU isn’t exactly like a real CPU. It calls a certain address in the cartridge and the cartridge returns the values it holds in that line. Then the CPU can get that, read it, and decide what to do with it. Once that’s done it asks the cartridge for the next line and keeps going until there’s no lines to check or a loop ends.

the CPU components are kindof all over the place. It’s not really one big centralized component (like the cartridge)

[craggy sonnet]

In minecraft someone made a BITCOIN MINER

[iron flame]

Damn I thought I was good at wiring. I'm currently working on a functioning clock.

[hybrid scaffold]

don’t know if I’m gonna finish this tbh

[still yew]

I was gonna make one, i need a simpler project thou

[marble lance]

@still yew like this one?

[ember mist]

Revive

[quaint heath]

whats going to be the function of the computer? like, what plans do you have that need variables and/ or whatever else you want to store? was it just going to be the calculator you mentioned in the original video?

[cunning obsidian]

W, mabye we can work together On a programmable processer

[median frigate]

Hey want to be part of a big project

[shadow dagger]

If there was no max map size, larger maps and a copying tool someone could make a computer with maybe 10kb ram, lots of registries and a large screen like 100x100 but it would be very slow

[tall sigil]

i miss the old days of wiring🥹

this is a year old

it’s got a nostalgic feeling

[sullen sand]

Wait you made variables? That's so cool!

It's a shame they would never add variables to Yeeps 😔

[tall sigil]

dude what year are you in?😭

[craggy sonnet]

Since they just added variables technically couldn't this do way more stuff and be optimized

[quaint eagle]

Not really, MrDucks computer didn’t work the same way and it had far more variables than we have access to now.

[plush sparrow]

Cool

[wispy silo]

@hybrid scaffold I dare you to remake this with the new variables that they gave us

[tall sigil]

@hybrid scaffold you were our greatest mind once this update came out you gotta come back to finish what you started we all believe in u gng🥹✌️🌹

[frozen sentinel]

I wouldn't be surprised if this post was recent BUT IT WAS RELEASED A YEAR AGO??

[frozen sentinel]

Also why you gotta revive old posts becuase nostalgia

[tall sigil]

idk i just wanted to remember it since it was like a year ago and why shouldn’t i?

[frozen sentinel]

You can do that without making it float to the top again

[tall sigil]

i honestly don’t think it’s that big of an issue

[unreal badger]

One word. doom

[quaint eagle]

Workin on it gng

Ima try to finish it soon

But I got 3 projects I gotta work on

[unreal badger]

Bro. How

Next up is minecraft

[quaint eagle]

Idk bout that…

[timid lark]

one year ago...

[craggy sonnet]

December 2024 wiring was genuinely peak

[tall sigil]

fr bro🥹

[tall sigil]

i was thinking about doing it i even made concepts but honestly im not sure if im ready for it yet i’ll probably do it down the road

[floral crag]

Please program ai o n eat

I Ned yep ai

Plis bro 😎

[quaint eagle]

[plush sparrow]

So what exactly can be programmed on this?

[quaint eagle]

Well iirc this can only store stuff and edit it and it was already almost block count so it can’t do much, but if he had ~1000 blocks more it could prolly do some math and be as functional as the variables we have now

But faster prolly

[plush sparrow]

Ok

[tall sigil]

this post is now a year and 3 days old🥹

[topaz nexus]

And I thought my binary -> alphabet was cool 😭

[civic prairie]

@hybrid scaffold would u mind helping me with something?

[quaint eagle]

I could help

[delicate osprey]

I could also help (also why can't you just use d latchs to store data and you can use variables to point to each d latch so then you per 4 bit num it only takes
4(wireless inputs)+5 and gates and a d latch with 4 more wireless to get 4(input witless)+4(and with a variable)+4(d) +4 (wireless for d) +4 (out)
to be 16 blocks per storage unit of numbers and you can use variables to point to each number using and gates.

Or

you can write lines of code with sequenceing variable together and you can use variables var1=1 then do ...
And use bianary to variable conversion to store varibles for later use

[pulsar sphinx]

hm

this looks a little complex

just a little

[quaint eagle]

Huh?

Mr duck la build is a year old

[delicate osprey]

Their is multiple solutions to this

[quaint eagle]

To what

You did give me an amazing idea tho, ima have to start rebuilding my computer now

[hybrid scaffold]

d latches and variables didn’t exist when I made this

[half tangle]

this is just what happened with minecraft bruh they gave people simple redstone and people made whole computers 😭

no hate this is cool tho

[vague pagoda]

CAN IT RUN DOOM????????

[quaint eagle]

It can’t run lmao

[vague pagoda]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[rapid fulcrum]

Yo how did you do this in 3000 blocks

I just know if I tried it would take me at least 5k
