How the RDF ASCII Word Processor works (Part 1 of 2)

[slowshowuploads]

Hey! i'm currently working on a ascii word proccesor, tho a small one ( no shift, just a-z lowercase..).

i made the keypad and thesynchroniser and a Decoder, but i have NO idea what to do..

i dont know how to make a screen just that it stays on and skips to the second screen, could you maybe help me?

[thekidsfromminecraft]

Too confusing for my epic brain to handle. btw how dose one join the RDF and what do they get if they do join?

[HamIsDie]

Your obviously some sort of a genius to figure this shit out on your own

[MikenterLP]

I understood it up until you got to the part where it actaully reads the letter. Then it went straight over my head...

[Smashey]

this hurts my brain

[jackofhallow]

@berickcook computer on a computer? compception

I love this. I doint understand this but I love this. So as a little critic: Next time, please use an assitent, who pushes the switches while youre talking about certain part of the machine. The whole "because this torch is on and this off"-thing make my brain hurt. Just invite someone to push buttons for you while you describe the mechanism :)

[MrBalanceofTerror]

Amazing, the best redstone device ever made in Minecraft. 10/10

[MrBalanceofTerror]

3 people do not like Minecraft or anything for that matter.

[XxTheReaperxX93]

Man u are really good in this you should really consider computer science and stuff...

BTW how the fuck can people dislike this video??? wtf is there to dislike???

I think its only stupid people that dont get it that tislike the video...

[2407Bart]

GG but who that plug in for flying :) ?

[IanMaayrkas]

@BerickCook This is really impressive.

But (yes, there's a "but", but it's a small one, I promise XD) you can get rid of the "shift decoder" (or whatever it's called) if you change the encoder so that the last three bit are for example xx0 for normal keys and the shift modifier simply changes the last bit to 1. (If you want to use the "official" ASCII table in the display decoder, you still have to use a "shift decoder", but a much smaller one.) Am I wrong?

Sorry for my probably bad English.

[BerickCook]

@IanMaayrkas If I modified the ASCII table codes, then yes I could eliminate the need for the shift modifiers. I had considered that when I was designing it, but decided to stick with the standard table. Mainly because the ASCII table is well known and respected, and the technical challenge of the shift modifiers was fun :)

[Unnamed0909]

It looked really complicated at first but really the idea is pretty simple. Thanks for this video.

[kugrian]

Very fascinating stuff. I checked out your word processor (and the subsequent UTD ones) on release, but had trouble understanding them, so this explanation is greatly appreciated. The theory behind the design of my one was just a simple ascii decoder, with the screen selection behind handled by an up/down counter. Your approach is much more elegant and I look forward to future releases/explanations.

[ZzZNorgaZzZ]

Given an estimate, if you didn't time it. How long did this take you to finish?

[jose3017]

1- Download the save file

2- Remove 1 redstone

3- *I F**kd up!!*

4- Repeat 1

btw DAAAMMMMM

[countpancake]

@BerickCook

Do you have a degree in REAL computer science?

[BerickCook]

@countpancake Nope. I just started playing around with redstone back in March. Once I got a feel for it, I just started building more and more complex things. Basically, I come up with an idea for something, then try and figure out how I can make it work.

[xPAINISFREEx]

I have been mindfucked.

[profkile]

i broke my brain

[spartan5536]

I have much to learn

[doubleact15]

ummmmmm...could you translate this? i don't speak gibberish :L

[john80909]

I knew that i was just testing u. U learned alot from me :)

[ohaidere12]

wtf did you just say?

[Ghost2067]

Somebody's gonna get an engineering job......

[Gamezalot]

That hurts my brain.

[WaLaWoA]

OMG!!! AMAZING!!!



[lil0UNKnOWN]

only bug u can have now is a creeper :D

[zjzjn1]

1. Get A LOT of redstone wiring

2. Get A LOT of stone and free space

3. Know all about computers

4. ??????

5. Display...

Problem?

[HaIMadeYouReadMyName]

@zjzjn1 4 would be OCD

[TheNominated]

After the first minute I only listened for "Turns on... turns off... turns on... turns off... on... on... will turn off... off... off... turns on..." etc. etc. etc. xD

[TheNominated]

We are lucky the real typewriters aren't THAT big >.>

[nacnud247]

hey where can i find that binary graph please rply

[BerickCook]

@nacnud247 Search wikipedia for ASCII

[MinecraftingDaddio]

@nacnud247 If you have windows 7 I use the Snipping Tool

[crackintunez]

You lost me after you said *whats it mean when i say ASCII*

[Needled247420]

I thought watching this would help me understand more about redstone.... So much for that haha.

[MinecraftingDaddio]

So how exactly does the signal synchronizer know when to allow the inputs to pass through? Does the 4 tick delay in the redstone repeater allow for enough time for each signal to arrive? or is it something that I missed? Thanks!

[BerickCook]

@MinecraftingDaddio You got it. The 5 tick delay (4 in the first repeater, 1 in the second) covers the gap of time between when the first signal hits and when the other 3 signals make it out of the shift modifiers.

[thdominat0r]

this makes my piston door look like a cactus

[MinecraftingDaddio]

@thdominat0r Lol more like cactus poop. lol jk

[Needled247420]

@thdominat0r I agree. It makes my piston fountian (The piston blocks the water from coming out of the top of the cave into the fountian.) look like a cactus.

[AcidWikiTutorials]

I've done work with logic gates in real life before pretty complex sometimes... but this is plain ridiculous man. Berick try breadboarding a real circuit and post a video response that would be sick! good work bro.

[wilcojar]

so does redstone circuitry work like circuitry IRL... (sorry for any misspellings) if so this would be great to do IRL... replacing the redstone torches at the end with LED lights and the rest with... I think they're called capacitors but i might be wrong. i love watching videos online like this that teach me how things work it will give me a jump ahead when i take a class for circuitry. thank you for posting this

[therealattacka]

this is very good must have taken some time to put together..

reminds me of how a computer works pratically in redstone

[BabyJakerz]

Ummmm, my head hurts. Sorry, but safe to say, I won't be watching the rest of these as I'm still so lost. And this is confusing as can be.

[jolleloly]

my brain melted.. and i am not a newbie for redstone

[nikelootijum]

To hard for me... :'(

[TheUrkkiMan]

It wouldnt be nice if someting were to happen to it.

Shhhhhhhhh

[PewPewKapowie]

@TheUrkkiMan Shhhhhh? :o

[TheBeastDispenser]

My Brain hurts...

[GodHatesDonkeys]

You must teach me so I can be half as good as you....

[13aj13bm13]

i made a door opener today

[alanadar012]

I dont understand any of this, but i still like it :)

[2getterau]

Today i made a house

[staphinfection]

As epic as this is.... I feel sorry for you.

[CQCElite]

You're working for Bill Gates right...

[Wolfslasher]

This is my first time of looking into something like this. I understand the majority of how it works at this point, and I think that is because I, thankfully, job shadowed an employee of the Intel corporation and picked up a basic understanding of binary coding.

[inuyasha331]

"This torch is 7"

Urgh... what? I just see blinky light and no blinky light D:

[1622matt]

fuck your smart.

i bet Albert Einstein couldn't make this

[diskette3]

dude. your intro is just like seananners.

[TheV3Productions]

You lost me at the decoders. lol

quite an amazing job man

[ploxsauce]

my brain hurts :(

[DrMarsbar]

you sound like bendter at 0:34 :P

[DrMarsbar]

11000110001000111000001100:P

[StudioGhibliFreak1]

you are epic!

[Xiah123]

He knows so much about redstone it fears him!

[brendoned]

Wow... whats next? CPU's built entirely from minecraft?!?

[fumitosegundo]

@brendoned actually... /watch?v=yuMlhKI-pzE

[bruce00j]

*boom* there goes my head

[MrZlicek]

Meanwhile i was trying to make a door opened by two levers at the same time : )

Really great work, how long did it to make?

[KrKrazyklutch]

only thing i can say is holy shit i thought i was good at making the roof on my house turn from cobble to glowstone with one press of a button... i suck :P plz if anyone wants to help me do better stuff with redstone send me a pm of the server you play on :D

[0000infinity0000]

The Richard Dawkins Foundation would like their acronym back...

But seriously this is incredible work ^_^

[zoraluigi]

Well now, my mind just imploded in on itself. Maybe if I took notes?

[xgomouse]

CREEPER!!!!! :D

[jelloeater100]

How long did it take you to make this?

[JediNerfmaster2000]

i thought when i found a way to make a button open my door, that is was amazing. This well is just a little better

[MrDuckBringer]

How long did this take to make? Also, DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[ImperialShocktrooper]

Which do you recommend to start learning coding? Coding in Java or another Script program that you know?

[Tibiagmman123]

alot simpler- Redstone Torchs with levers on their blocks ^_^

[Sezhmy]

i dont get it :(

[jens1504]

Can you make a 64bit??

[Stuff8522]

I think "The Entertainer" from Machinima would get a rank of 60 compared to this...

[SevereGoG]

Fucking outstanding. Couldn't understand a thing.

[trains1000]

I have some questions. 1. What are your states? I wonder how much restone you used and stone. 2. Don't you get tired of making a copy of a huge machine for each display? 3. Its amazing that that is only the keyboard interface in my pc. 4. Where are my punch cards I want to load something into this baby! (It would be epic if you could make it run little programs like console programs. Maby you can use pistons so it would just overlay the keyboard!) 5. WHERE CAN I GET YOUR MAP! PS love it! ^_^

[trains1000]

@trains1000 wait found it! and is it hard to build on a small monitor? I also do programing. I use C#

[ImQrazy]

To confusing D: i would try this but i can't even get my pistons to open a door.. lol

[Razer1103]

Now, to hide the redstone...>:D

[F4110utJunk13]

u lost me bro the second you started talking

[joshgilson]

my head just exploded

[Kulopto]

Must be a small foundation. =D

[Razer1103]

Lol, you introduce yourself like Julian from @expertvillage

[NightmareX92]

Now make it work with multi-line!

[13uttters]

my brain hurts

[m123c456r789]

next stop, minecraft within minecraft.. ITS MINE-CEPTION!

[Techrocket9]

Wouldn't it be faster to match the character in a branching fashion? Check the first bit, if 1 go to the set of checks that start with 1, if 0 go the the set of checks that start with 0. Wouldn't the binary search tree reduce the character match time time from O(n) to O(log(n))?

[BerickCook]

@Techrocket9 Faster, yes. But it would significantly increase the already very large footprint, so the small gain in efficiency was not worth the bulk IMO.

[Techrocket9]

Now port Minecraft to run in Minecraft

[xenoz666]

Awsome build! :D Is it possible to get the save for that one? Wanna try it out :D

[bob93219]

and i can't make a fucking automatic door with pistons.. Very good job here dude!

[czechxx]

if you ever want a job in engineering id show them this. this is fucking amazing.

[rushone2010]

Do you make a living as an engineer/programmer, and if so, what language would you recommend to start with and how to go about learning it?

[BerickCook]

@rushone2010 I actually don't. Just a hobbyist :) As for your second question, it depends on what kind of programs you want to make and how much experience with programming (or programming concepts) you have.

[kristjan117]

@BerickCook try scratch first thats usually the one used for learning at first

[badhardba]

not bad =)

[5in1killa]

So magic then?



[BerickCook]

@5in1killa Precisely

[chubbythefatboy10]

@BerickCook I gave myself a challenge and said that I had to understand this. I am 11. My brain hurts. :>

[pball1000]

dude your AWESOME! and i kind of slightly understood it(i can't read bianary). but if i could now bianary i could understand it *<I :D 

[BerickCook]

@pball1000 Thanks! For this device, you don't have to know actual binary math. All you need is to match up the 0's and 1's on the ascii table with the character they represent.

[skynut414]

Awesome Man! Just subbed. I'm doing something similar but not completely the same :) I started my project (which I said was a bit similar) before I watched your ASCII word proccessor video so I didn't want to destroy that project. But I just want to ask: how did you make the display screen that will currently show a letter that you will type in, shift from to another screen? I used a 4-bit binary counter (4-bit T-Flip-Flop) but I want to know what did you use :)

[BerickCook]

@skynut414 Thanks for the sub! I'm glad to hear that you are not abandoning your project. It is my hope that my projects inspire, rather than discourage.

For my screen I used a custom 1 bit system. I'm currently uploading part 2 of this explanation which will go into more detail on how that works.

[skynut414]

@BerickCook Oh ok :) Can't wait for part 2 :)

[DionVideoz]

You are a so smart :P.

[PhilThePenguin]

Stupid iPhone. I have to wait for the video to process to watch.

[iSnarpy]

You are amazing..
