I made a computer again. It can do a lot of stuff the previous one couldn't and still can't do a lot of stuff I'd like it to be able to do. It definitely can solve quadratic equations. Check the relevant forum thread too. And try tpt.setfpscap(2)!

    @DUC: Wut lol. I don't think I get what you're asking, but one clock cycle is one frame here. @NoVIcE: Both seem likely. Bigger computers is not necessarily true though as parts tend to get smaller.

    @LBP but that would require bigger computers, or some kind one-frame-multiple-updates way of making the computer, if thats possible.

    @LBPHacker I know this is subframe, but is the real clock cycle once per frame? If not, then computers can get even faster without fraction-frame-updates.

    Meh not really. I can totally see multi-operation-per-frame architectures happening soon.

    Actually, if a computer does 1 operation per frame, that means its the fastest a computer can be.

    An ALU is an Arithmetic Logic Unit, basically, it does math. In a simple form, all you need is an adder and some way to form the binary compliments. That allows you to do addition, subtraction, and with a higher level program, multiplication and division. Of course if you have those, you can do roots and powers, with an even higher level... The takeaway is an ALU does math, and can be simple or complex

    @DUC: Yeah I see ARAY more often nowadays than INWR. Eh old habits die hard, it's just what I do. I of course use ARAY where it's inevitable.

    @LithiumJanus: Designing is up to you (i.e. what you want it to do and how). Did you read the part in the manual about the breakout box? Bump me in PM if you're still stuck.
