Don't be "that one guy", either make an actual suggestion or just don't post.

Anyhow, the ALU is what does all the arithmetic (and some logic) in your computer. In this case, you would use it to calculate things, probably after your computer interprets the required calculation and sends it to the ALU in a more usable form.

I don't actually know very much about what I'm talking about, but I think that's what you're looking for.

An ALU does addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, compares numbers and does logical operations on them. You can start off with an ALU the only adds, though. :P In TPT, ALUs tend to have built-in memory, due to SPRK cycle limits.

 

 You should probably start off making other tech before making a full-blown computer. You logic gates are excellent, but smaller solutions (and faster) are avaliable. Take a look at 

 

 

for smaller, faster logic gates. You can use X-NOR for a comparator. 

 

Sandwichlizard has made some great logic gates at

 

 

The alu at

is just an adder with some logic operations, like NOT.

 

Anyway, as I said, you should make more tech to give you more experience, and hopefully you should build a better computer.
