Pogo's Wire Contraptions

Just a bit of my work that I thought I'd make a video out of. Since I wouldn't bother making a bunch of titles on how the machines work, and at the moment I don't have a mic, I'll describe them here.



Paper, Rock, Scissors Wire Game
---------------------------------------
A simple idea I had thought up once while remaking various other wire-games. This is still in it's first stages so it seems a bit, troublesome. This version uses three people; Player 1, Player 2, and the "judge". Each player will choose either paper, rock, or scissors then press the "ready" switch in the middle, the indicator signifies that they are ready. When both ready lights are on, an indicator on the Judge's side lights up, telling him to press the button, which will take the value of each test screen and decide who the winner is. My next model will have a timing system and get rid of the judge position.



Pythagorean Theorem Solver
---------------------------------------
Something very simply done, but I did it anyways. This is based of the Pythagorean Theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem)
and uses the formula to solve for one missing side out of three. And yes, I know I misspelled "theorem" in the video.



Turret Draw Pad
---------------------------------------
This seems to be a favorite in the servers, and it is quite fun. It takes the output of the X and Y values of the graphics tablet, multiplies them by the size of the plate, then wire the turret to the use function and you have a big ass doodler. Unfortunately, there is a limit on the number of bullet holes on a single prop, so in order to make it somewhat workable, you'd have to build it out of a bunch of little pieces.


If you would like any of the expressions, or maybe an Adv. Dupe file, just message me.

1 question! plz answer it xD no1 does -.- how do you guys no what each gate or other wire things does? i make things but only from tutorials is there a book or something of wire ? xD

[pogodamunky]

I kinda figured it out because I program as a hobby. It's kind of self explanatory, although these days I only use expressions, except for timers, to make my contraptions...my suggestion is to learn to use them instead. Nothing special about it, it's just a lot less lag and a bit faster than putting together a series of gates.

That pythagorean theorem thing inspires me to make something a little more advanced, a Quadratic Equation machine!!!

I wonder what wire will do when it comes across an imaginary number...

[pogodamunky]

Ha, I made a quadratic equation machine along with a graphing calculator experiment I was working on, an imaginary number usually displays as a 0 or a 9999999999. Maybe you might get something different :D

[AmunRa1]

Gah, you made it already.

I finished it up 2 days ago, just 12 hours after I said I would work on it.

It's funny, all the people on the server were all "the quadratic what?"

[pogodamunky]

Ha, yea. I get the same response from a lot of people. It just goes to show the general age the the players...or the lack of education :D

@emiel1448 There's a gmod wiki on the garrysmod (.) com site

[Killerkai67]

Could you like add me on steam (Killerkai67) I made that Draw Pad from small pieces and colorer but Up/Down is inverted

[tails2fan]

i may sound like a noob asking this, but how do you make it so when you push the button it increases or decreases by 1?

[goodbyeash]

Pythagoreans Therom is the thing that Im currently studying at school, Its a pain in the ass sometimes, Would help to have the 2nd contraption, Nice work!

[ShukakuSleeps]

The first contraption is the MOST complicated rock paper scissors game EVAR...

[Familyguyex]

halo

[kevmp1198]

k i added u

[VB2P360]

its my steam name

[kevmp1198]

is that ur steam name or email cuz he didnt add me

[VB2P360]

after he (if he) teaches you wire i can teach you expression 2 (if he doesnt teach you contact me at Garrysmodxpk3rownage2)
