This is the smallest computer in TPT. Its made in a modular/scalable way. Name might change in future. ~5 lines of 0xMin1 -> 1 line of assembly. It has: 6 commands, 2 8bit pointers, 1 register.

    You've managed to build such a small computer because you've chosen your parameters in a way that let you. Namely, you've chosen other parameters like ALU features and addressing complexity to be low in value, which also made your space requirements drop considerably. A good comparison would probably explain this.

    It's a difficult question because the area of comparing TPT computers is rather unexplored. If I built a really small computer with fewer features than other, bigger computers, I'd probably include things like how much slower the small one does an addition or how many more instructions it takes (though the two should be quite similar figures). Or something along those lines.

    LBPHacker: I see what you mean. Do you think I should compair against prossesing power or something. but then how?

    woah. im not a tech guy, and never will be, so this just looks like a static screen to me. +1

    A worthy inhabitant of the Turing tarpit. Beyond that, I'd like to add only that it's not such a great idea to compare against other computers based on size only, because, as the comments have shown, it gives the false impression of evolution. The comment about Moore's law is an especially good example of this misunderstanding.

    We might be following some sort of Moores Law here. Every year, the smallest computer approximately halves in particle count. Extrapolating this number, by about 2028 we should arrive at a 1px-size CPU in TPT.

    This is the most advanced technology i've ever seen. Respect!

    Good Computer.

    this is cool, +1. but the documentation is kind of hard to understand
