Handy way to show that even though we can fit billions of transistors on something the size of a finger-nail, they're still just a bunch of little mechanical gates. Awesome work.

I can't say I understand it either, but it seems as though some uber nerd has built a CPU in his fort using pressure plates, stone, and dwarf vomit. It controls the galaxy.

A lot of that document looks like the second half of a logic course I took. The scary math part that I mostly fail at. I'll need to wait for the capt duck 10-part tutorial.

Yeah I had to make a Turing complete hypothetical processor for compsci in a similar exercise to his documentation... but actually doing it in DF is fucking madness. In such a CPU munching game it's like a ship in a bottle on a ship in a bottle on a star destroyer.

Someone did something similar in Little Big Planet for the PS3, iirc he made a functional calculator. There is a youtube video somewhere.

Somewhere... Do you think it's on YouTube?
