Minecraft Tutorial: Howto Build a Hexadecimal to Binary encoder (decoder)

The simplest and fastest way of building a hexadecimal to binary encoder (some would say decoder).

What is the point of hexadecimal? Mostly just an easier method of reading binary. say you have the number 14 represented in 4 bit binary:
1110
In hexadecimal this becomes:
E

After a while when working with hexadecimal values, you learn that E (hex) = 14 (base 10) = 1110 (binary)

Also color codes on the computer use hexadecimal so that they are easier to read:
#FFFFFF is the colour white
This would be 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 if we were to represent it binary. This binary number is much more difficult to remember than the code.

idk if its posible but is saw a pong macine but can you a tetris game

[HenriksAdventure]

@cheasify It is possible, because redstone is the exact same stuff your computer is made out of.... (plus some other parts) :P Thanks for the idea!

i made a 7 segment display but how and i have 9 levers how do i make it run on binary so i can have 4.

@cheasify You'll need a binary to base 10 decoder. Make it exactly the same way as the hexadecimal decoder, only with 10 decoder gates. Then hook these up to the display decoder. Then you can control it with only a 4 bit binary input. Note that if you make it hexadecimal the 6 last numbers will not go to waste ;)
