Three T-A8D4s connected via Network Interface Cards (NICs) and a wire sending each eachother random packets. The A8D4s are connected via their I/O ports to the NICs and each NIC has a unique address.

    blue-user,it's just reinventing the wheel is a fun expirence, especially when you are learning

    It does not do anything per say, no. But this is, to my knowledge, the first proof of concept of inter-computer communication/networking on The Powder Toy. And that is what makes this save brilliant. It's more than running electricity through wires.

    I'm not saying its not nice but I mean its not doing anything new anyone could switch on a button and run electricity through wires so all I'm asking is what does it do?

    it looks complicated so err......+1? what does it exactly do though?

    Phones are actually computers, or at least they are now.

    I like how it uses 1 wire to communicate. That way these could literally be phones, sending information. (like pressure waves in TPT simulating waves)

    This is revolutionary on TPT.

    Last I checked, 5-bit is more complex than 4-bit. But, if compact-ness is the measurement of quality, then I suppose 4-bit comes out on top. As for there being any use for networking computers, I suppose I could connect a Control Unit and NIC to a 8KB drive and use it as a data volume.
