wow this will be amazing, i will be telling all my IT and physics teachers about this! the possibilities really are endless!

I love seeing my suggestions implemented!

using oncollide variable modification, and storing variables in things like the harddrive prototype, one could make a really advanced data-storage system, yet make it easy to write and read off of. i'll look into making a harddrive.

anyone interested in a 1hz puls generator or a 1hz gate?

Maybe we can use the density, friction and controllerAcc parameters to gain more information per circle so we can storage a "very big" data amount..

nah. its better to use the unused collision groups for storage as well. besides, different densities would cause problems, like a moved reader... maybe use the drawborders, opaqueborders, restitution(readers with 0 bounciness = no effect on the reader at all), collidewater(who the heck is going to put water in a storage model like this?), and drawcake as bits too...

but..... looks like if this project wants to proceed, first its needed to teach the forum users which dont know(hey, most of this community is composed of teenagers)

@RA2lover: Okay.. Maybe we can create a little tutorial for beginners. Using "drawcake" as information works only for circles. DrawBorders & OpaqueBorders should work..

@bronie12345: Yes, I'm interested!!

@Spokesh: I nominate you for the team leader in "memory development". Would you appreciate that?

Here is my new A/D 32bit converter:

ATTENTION: Lots of thyme script is implemented (more than 500 lines). The scene will lag!
The script needs optimization! [edit: NOT! I made a better one]

Okay. We will keep this in mind.
First, we need a good 32bit A/D converter. Is it possible to create a fast algorithm with the mod() operator (instead of 128 interlaced if-conditions)?

edit: I GOT IT!
Here is some visual basic code scripted by me:

Dim i As Byte = 0
NumericUpDown.Value = 255
Label.Text = ""
For i = 0 To 7
 If ((NumericUpDown.Value / 2 ^ i) Mod 2) >= 1 Then
  Label.Text = "1" & Label.Text
 Else
  Label.Text = "0" & Label.Text
 End If
Next i

This will output: "11111111"

Now I have to translate this into thyme! ^^

editII: HERE WE GO!
The new powerful 32bit A/D converter! Spokesh!!! Your harddisk is now able to storage 200byte (50 circles => 1 circle = 4byte)!

Old digital data bus standard:
Name: 4B-BUS
Bandwith: 32bit (RGBA color channel)
Array-form: [R, G, B, A]
New range: [0..255, 0..255, 0..255, 0..255] (one byte per channel)
Old range: [0..1,0..1,0..1,0..1] (float)

4B-BUS works with: 32bit A/D converter 2.00, The collection of logic gates

New digital data bus standard
Name: 8B-BUS
Bandwith: 64bit (RGBA color channel)
Array-form: [R, G, B, A]
New range: [0..65535, 0..65535, 0..65535, 0..65535] (two bytes per channel)
Old range: [0..255, 0..255, 0..255, 0..255] (one byte per channel)
Spokesh's harddrive capacity (50 circles): 400byte

editII: HURRAY!
Here's the new 64bit A/D-converter!

that 64 bit converter is so laggy

It runs fine on my computer. 100% realtime performance is not the aim of this project!

it hurts mah eyes soput a dark opacity panel on top of it so you see it only little (at least if ytou put this to computer).

Set the simulation speed to 0.01x to reduce the flickering. We will cover the digital cicuits with a dark transparent panel soon.

and what were you thinking this computer would be used if it ever gets ready?
im going to try some kind of hard drive ( is it just like 0101010111 blablabla?)

This computer would be programmable so we can make calculations and many other things!

well, i see the prob here...
its too laggy
dont make many small objects, keep it simplified
im gonna work on a hard drive for you guys wich you can play with, store data with, and send msgs with

well, im gonna make use of the text feature, so it memorizes the msg
and make a backup in it, so if you press a key, it restores the last msg

Its seems my old post here isnt here, so Ill repost
I have an idea for a input device:
There would be a circle inside a box (connected with springs) the user would drag the circle to the edges of the box that would be scripted with oncollide(eg when its touched, a cursor moves) I suppose its sorta like a joystick, if you need help visualising the concept, I could make it but not script it(I suck at thyme) What do you think?

i just made a floppy reader
it is very simple, but effective
if you adjust it, you can make a hdd of it

im now working on a writer
but than i have to make a typing machine first
when i have a writer and a reader, i can make a full working hdd of it
