mapS is the fourth SoC developed by Rawing and me. It offers 5 bit variables and is quite fast.

    3 reasons why I'll probably ignore arK's AEC: 1, if he releases it without a proper description like the last one, I'll pretend it doesn't exist. 2, some if his stuff doesn't even work. 3, our latest computer concept is probably 4 times as fast as any electronics can be. (Yes, really.)

    @Rawing: A bit of advice: look out for arK's next post, I heard AEC 3 is coming out soon, that should give you ideas for efficient components. :)

    We've been working on newer, better computers, but I don't think we'll release one anytime soon for 2 reasons: 1, making more powerful computers requires a lot of work. 2, we keep thinking of better ways to build a computer and abandon the design we've been working on. Maybe we'll release a preview of one of the later designs; it can't do much, but is interesting to look at nonetheless.

    @Rawing and @drakide: I really love mapS, but it honestly needs an upgrade and other demonstrations of it's capabilities. I acknowledge how long this must have taken to but nowadays most TPT users aren't very patient and want a simulation that won't take too much time to use.

    I got a score of 4.

    @Rawing I know how that is, make something work then upgrade it later. @Drakide Of course. I think Ark discovered/invented it anyway. Here are some examples; 1295658 Cram, 1307826 Teh Snake, 1430267 Word Printer, 1482765 Sign tool 2.0.

    this may be efficient for numbers up to 50, after that it's just a nuisance, and for numbers over 1000 it is impossible. however Arks bin -> dec is a lot more efficient since you can input bits in the trillion region and output is in blocks of 4 bits. even though it is a lot bigger and slower, for a computer i'd definetly recommend it since it crunches big numbers which you may need.

    @G-LinuxorU one problem with your bin ->dec. if i input 11001 it would give a output which i would hook up to display 25; and if i input 100011 it would give me a completely different output line which i would hook up to display 35. (second half above this comment)

    @G-LinuxorU: Nice converter! May we use it in our next computers?
