@@mattbatwings Hey, the best part about redstone is that the architecture doesn’t have to follow classic procedural iterative patterns. Parallelisation is powerful. I wonder if a divide-and-conquer approach would work. Like imagine making a redstone quaternary decision tree for the x and y axis that divides the screen into 4 regions and those regions into 4 regions and so forth until you reach pixel-level decision making. Binary numbers are passed through the tree from root to leaves (pixels). Each step removes one bit of information from the passing data and informs what sub-quadrants receive the data and which don’t. The last layer just receives 1s and 0s and determines if the pixel turns on or not. You could very easily draw filled rectangles with something like this since the X and Y decision splits can happen independently and at the last layer you just AND them.

@@PhoenixEditz_daOG Cool, I thought about this too. This is an efficient parallel method, but recursive computation is an expensive feature in redstone, mainly because it uses a lot of RAM or Stack. I noticed this when I was trying to make this machine myself. Presumably this is the reason why the Bresenham straight line algorithm has not been replaced for a long time! But it would be pretty impressive if there was a way to draw an entire line quickly or instantly.

[@maxinealexander9709]

because the screen is pass-through, you could parallelize the loop to draw multiple segments of a given line at the same time. eg 4 cores each do 1/4th of the loop so 4 parts of a line are drawn at a time :)

I mean, if you have checked out a lot of redstoners and redstone engineers the past years, you'd find that a lot of improvements have been occurring over the years. It hasn't been in a dark age, you've just not kept up with the actual inventors of new redstone technology. And I bet you that some of those people could simplify all of this, and make the calculations near instant. We have ways to use a single line of redstone to pass on more than a single bit of information. We have ways to read signal length, and signal strength, and to be able to encode and decode such inputs and outputs. Maizuma games made a lot of stuff with signal strength, it's a much more compact way to store and use redstone. And it could most likely be implemented in most of mattbatwings creations to make every part either smaller or faster.

[@livedandletdie]

Well he has input panels, that take the inputted data and does a transformation of that data, via simple addition and subtraction, and then sends that data to a screen, which then you guessed it, draws pixels using said data. Step 1, take input. Step 2, calculate ΔX and ΔY and a few other values, then compare ΔX and ΔY add or subtract those other values when needed. Those other values are what determines the direction of the slope. They're based of whether the signs of δx and δy are positive or negative. That's all you really need. Let's use the 8 part division and explain, it using that, the first 2 parts, are both positive signed, the next 2 have a negative sign for x and a positive sign for y, the next 2 thereafter all negative signs, the next 2 parts the last part have positive x and negative y. Then there's a value that interchanges whether you're in the first or second part of each of the divisions, as it decides whether to use ƒ(x) or ƒ(y) as the plot calculations. It's a really really complicated way to simply say plot x1,y1 to x2,y2 no matter what x1 or x2 or y1 or y2 are. You determine which quadrant using 2 signed values, S1 and S2, then you determine whether you should run it as a function in regards to x or in regards to y, then it's basically just the same as calculating a single slice, with A B and E. So yeah, it's very math heavy, but nothing is actually that difficult. It's basically point A - Point B, what is the difference, okay, is it negative or is it positive? okay, is it y dependent or is it x dependent? Then use algorithm 1, else use algorithm 2... take result draw point, go back to more math.

But sometimes that a lot slower can be turned into a lot quicker.

@@sargentgullible2794 I think that's technically FIXED-point notation. Floating point isn't a term for numbers with a decimal point, it's a term for numbers written in scientific notation, where the position of the decimal point varies with the magnitude of the number. But it's still a decent idea.

simpler explanation for bresenham: the line goes dx units to the right, dy units up where dx is the width, dy is the height. now, scale up the whole thing by dx - now the line is made up of smaller copies of itself. the important part: 1 pixel is now dx by dx. since we scaled it up, the line now goes dx mini-units right, and dy mini-units up per pixel. however... the pixel is dx units tall. so, once it goes up above dx mini-units, then it should go one real pixel up, and you should subtract the dx mini-units from the error. the real implementation has an extra 2x scale factor because the pixels are measured from the center, but that's just an issue of changing the condition from "above dx" to "above dx/2", and multiplying everything by 2. basically repeating the process again

[@5omebody]

my explanation skills really suck but oh well, at least people may be able to get the point

[@mattbatwings]

very nice! this actually made me understand it a little better.

[@jaredloveless]

I've played Minecraft since release. I've dabbled in logic circuits and made a 8-bit display once. I'm always amazed when I see things like barrels and slime blocks being used in redstone builds. Such simple blocks yet restoners can do so much with them.

[@simat565]

Just imagine what he would do if Redstone lamp had different colors depending of the redstone power level. There has to be a mod for that. ''so i made multiplayer Minecraft in Minecraft''

[@lilyofluck371]

That is so smart! I heard of coloured lamps but that idea is really good.

[@CJmakesspedmemes]

It’d be a really easy mod to make, you just need to have the power level be read by the block (like a comparator) and change texture according to the value

[@iCherrryyt]

I think that's cool but I think just adding colored glass to the lamp recipe would be a lot easier than having to change the signal strength is to complex and would be annoying.

[@lilyofluck371]

@@iCherrryyt But then it wouldn't be able to change. The point is that it can change. This kind of lamp would be like a color display lamp for redetoners. Not coloured lamps for builders.

Matt in 2030: Hello guys! Today I made Windows 10 in Minecraft just using redstone!

[@ryangunnison38]

This is fantastically well explained! If you havent received any messages like it already, im sure that these kinds of videos will help jumpstart younger folks interest in computer science and programming. I already have some programming experience myself but I have minimal formal education on how programming translates to computer parts in the physical world and this is the most exciting way Ive seen to understand it!

[@teamcreative8302]

That was INSANE! From someone who is a programmer and has dabbled in Minecraft Redstone whenever I've played I can understand how crazy this really is Best recommendation I've had from KZbin in a long time that was appreciated greatly Truly amazing

redstone has evolved so much since when I first got into minecraft... I remember when single digit addition calculators were the most impressive thing ever and now people are rendering graphics... Bravo dude. I look forward to see where you go from here.

[@blue_bag6110]

I'm loving the more in-depth explanation of this.

[@WintersparkYT]

Now that you have lines working, You should make a rotating cube! it would be interesting to see how you would come up with a way to use trigonometry in Minecraft red stone.

[@JakeMiller2020]

I would love to see a full breakdown of the final working version, like you did for the first attempt!!! It's the first time I've seen a computational redstone project broken down in that way and I really want to see more!

[@HouseBricksDoor187]

sheeesh i tried making an addition/subtracting calculator once but this is absolutely next level, respect!

[@kshounishbhadra-bhaduri8602]

this is unbelieveable!! also, the first time I've genuinely been convinced to go through and click on a channel to go find the rest of the videos. absolutely love the content, keep it up! you've earned a new fan 😊

omg he mixed redstone with digital electronic, to watch this dude will absolutely help me finally learn the engineering behind computers on practical 😍 hugs from brazil

[@glitchtheproto]

You should start a coding night which would be like a podcast because you have a soft and relaxing voice

[@Interpause]

your step by step explanations are really good, it shows what is needed when tryna plan a difficult redstone build

[@watch_nana]

I just finished taking a digital systems course and realize after watching this video that everything we learnt is used to make computers in minecraft thats actually amazing

[@YtNitin]

Finally soone who speaks in a calm way and getting to the point asap

[@chair._]

Mark my words when I say this. One day one of his videos will be chosen by the algorithm and his channel is gonna blow up. I mean this is my first video ive watched from him and i thought he had like half a million subscribers or something but no, he only has 40k subs. He definitely needs more subs.

I'm gonna second some of the others here and say that like, the longer your videos are the better tbh. I totally get wanting to make them shorter but if you have more to say, you are NOT boring us by saying it, the longness of the video is part of why i like it

3D drawing would be amazing to see in Minecraft regardless of the processing speed. You can draw lines, a massive step.
