Minecraft - x Bit Program Counter With Branching

[thekidsfromminecraft]

I kinda understand it but what is it's main purpose and where would I put it in my cpu?

This is a really awesome, and deceptively simple, design! I'm using it in my simple CPU.

I can't believe you don't have more views and replies for this!

Thanks! I had spent a long time working on a PC and was always met by failure. This one is amazing.

I've just started work today on one that is adder-based.

i built it but i dont know what to do with it

@Kadams1997

So why did you build it?

It is intended for people using it in a CPU.

Neat. I have a design that I've been working on that's only 2 blocks wide per bit (making use of a narrow XOR design), but is significantly trickier to Load values into since although it can turn a 0 -->1 it can't do 1-->0, and it loses accuracy if it has to count too quickly.

I'll study your design and see what I can learn from it.

Thanks :D

I have tutorials up in the description. I'm always willing to explain it more in depth if you need me to.

Also, I forgot to add:

I always ran into that same problem with loading 0 -> 1. My solution is explained in the tutorial but essentially what happens is the load bit send a reset signal to zero the entire thing and then loads the ones where necessary. This removes any bleeding of values and makes it very easy to load 0 -> 1.
