Phun Marble Logic Calculator

Watch in high quality if you can't see, sorry. :-/

Inspired by brdavis5's DigiComp II. I made this simulation after I saw his amazing machine about a year ago and now I finally have a fast enough computer to record it. The file is available on the Phun website under the name phun calculator here: http://www.phunbox.net/details/10759/.

This simulation is able to multiply two numbers using binary logic gates. The set of numbers on the far right side is the memory storage for the product while the two sets of numbers to the left are the factors. This example executes 010 * 1110 = 0011100 or 2 * 14 = 28 for those of you who don't speak binary. For all the switches green is on or 1 and red is off or 0. The values are set by putting the switches green or red before sending the first marble through. Each set of vertical numbers that are pointing green are added together to act as a single number.

So (0 + 2 + 0) * (8 + 4 + 2 + 0) = (0 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 0)
is
2 * 14 = 28

Mekanimo is so much better than Phun.

If you've ever played Powder Game, which is very slightly similar to Phun, someone made a trillion number calculator in that.

I am using phun projects by other people and turning some of the into phunlets, I am planning on making a base sort of thing I will post back the link after I finish!

ps send me a friend request i dunno how to send one.

dude that is awesome
