 It's good, but probably isn't compact enough to make a computer.

 Where are you going to get an XOR then?

@Aloysius1234 (View Post)

What are you doing?

You need an ALU, zero flag (ZF) and carry flag (CF). ALU should set ZF when result == 0, CF is just carry output of the last (most significant) full adder.

Now you can compare numbers A and B by subtracting B from A with ALU and checking ZF and CF.

ZF == 0 and CF == 0 -> A-B < 0 -> A < B
ZF == 0 and CF == 1 -> A-B > 0 -> A > B

ZF == 1 or CF == 0 -> A-B <= 0 -> A <= B
ZF == 1 or CF == 1 -> A-B >= 0 -> A >= B

Use XOR instead of subtraction for [in]equality test.

ZF == 1 -> A^B == 0 -> A == B
ZF == 0 -> A^B != 0 -> A != B

Standalone "real-world" gates are pretty much useless in TPT.

@ark.  you do awesome work, however I disagree that they are useless.  maybe if you want to make a computer they are too big but for some saves they are perfect.  and its FUN to try and make them work well. :D

Fun is a relative concept. Gates will be completely useless when next version comes out because ARAY will interact with FILT just like PHOT.

I updated my XNOR, its much smaller.  not tiny but still much smaller.  I improved the NOT gate and I got rid of one of them and one AND.  now its just 1 AND gate with each input in parrallel (diode protected) with the NOT gate.

 Wait...... Don't mean to sound dumb here, but are you saying they are going to remove basically the entire electronic component of ARAY?? That would break the majority of electronic saves.... I'm probably making a fool of myself, so could you explain what you mean by this change to ARAY?

@dom2mom (View Post)

It means you'll be able to do something like

With ARAY instead of PHOT.

@dom2mom (View Post)

No, ARAY will be even more powerful for electronics, so powerful that PHOT, gates and lots of other electronic stuff becomes obsolete.

90.0 beta is here, go check it out :)

 Oh, ok. I thought for a second you were saying that FILT would just color ARAY and not allow for electronic uses *phew*
