I've finally found a use for SL's "Computer builders' kit" published for, well, SL's plotter. *** Update: Fixed TEST, see main save ***

    With regards to tutorials, there are indeed a whole lot of technicalities and ways of doing things with FILT. So far, I only have documentation on all of the complex mechanics regarding subframe technology but could attempt to make a decent and visual step by step file.

    There, id:2005979 (also added link in the original save)

    @Qweryntino: Sure. I hope it'll help people understand more of this mess.

    @msasterisk: Well, I'm not sure about FILT computing. There's not too much else to be told about FILT other than what's on the wiki (I think? maybe DTEC is not mentioned?). If you're looking for a subframe computing tutorial, there's this one: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=19943

    Is there a FILT computing tutorial? I can't find one.

    You'd have to familiarize yourself with a programming language anyway, but at least it wouldn't be Assembly. ... Other than that, I cannot even fathom what you 'dumb people', as you bluntly put it, don't understand about this. If there's anything, you can just ask me.

    Let's suppose for a minute that people understand my explanation of the instruction set (unlikely, lol, I'm not that good with words). That's all that's required to use this or, for that matter, any other computer on TPT. You can't really just *make* a computer that doesn't use an instruction set. The best you can do is make a better computer that has enough instruction space to hold code compiled from a higher level programming language.

    Someone should make a computer that us dumb people can use and understand

    Uhm. I don't really get that one. It does what you tell it to do. If that's maze generation, it'll generate mazes.
