This mess took an entire day to make and my hand is cramping like hell x3 Color-coded labels as to what each part does are included in the save, hope you enjoy! UwU (pls let me know if something's wrong and I'll troubleshoot)

    Thanks for the tips! The display is actually just two single displays ripped from my original (failed) calculator, so I just used the encoder that was already attached and made another step to make it work in two digits. I also wasn't thinking about speed when I first made it, but future stuff will definetly use INST and proper XOR gates if I find some or figure one out x3

    regardless, its a good save, i hope to see more. +1

    and the adder its self is pretty large and slow, which i think is im part due to the fact that its built from only AND gates and NAND gates built from a combined AND and NOT gate, which increases the total number of gates required and i think NOT gates using PTCT (or really any gates that use PTCT) tend to have slower response times than NTCT gates, but dont quote me on that.. thats more of an observation than anything

    you can also considerably reduce the latency between when an input is recieved and when an output is given by using INST which conducts SPRK instantly, particularly in place of the longer wires, but it can provide a benefit in shorter stretches too, the longer ones will just be more pronounced

    the binary to decimal converter is really big, you should snoop around for inspiration from different saves, and im almost certain the 7-segment decoders and decimal double digit thing can be combined into a single look-up table which controls both displays
