Making a Calculator in Tears of the Kingdom

[@Trashley652]

Think of it this way, if Nintendo had an endless build limit, would you have ended up with such an elegant and efficient full adder?

[@sandgaijin]

If there was an endless limit, I’d cut down all the trees and make the longest bridge that spans from eventide island to hebra.

[@ProwersEdits]

Even though I could barely understand the concept behind it all, this was still insanely fascinating

[@The_Forge_Master]

For the record: the modding community hasn't figured out how to increase the build limit yet. Most of the mods are either model swaps, weapon stat changes, and armor stat/model changes. Though the amiibo limit remover is awesome to spam the wolf link amiibo for _LOTS_ of meat for healing.

[@zibberebbiz]

Ahh, this brings back so many memories from high school.. all of us on our digital calculators which had fans and open electricity..

[@nareh1113]

Yes memories indeed....I remember struggling to control my ultra hand, accidentally activating ascend, ascending into the girls locker room. This was all accidental...of course. I still have scars from being pelted with bokoblin horns.

[@EricBridges]

That shot at 11:40 is priceless -- Link standing there with a fish helmet proudly holding a mop while you maniacally point out the various elements of the contraption that has clearly consumed your soul for the last few weeks. Its.. a thing of beauty.

[@theoreticalpotato4290]

As a computer science major I admire the technical accuracy that you have retained in this series. Well done man I hope to see more of your work!

[@Vexmus_]

Can't wait to explain to my Computer science teacher that a funny guy from KZbin singlehandedly outdone the like 20 hours of class with a few funny zelda videos. Seriously props my man, genuinely really loving these videos! Singlehandedly saving my academic career here

[@kyrroti]

My brain kinda shut down at one point, but I was pretty hyped when you showed that calculator in action.

[@ivanvperez]

LMAOOO

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

The fact that people are already making absolutely legendary build accomplishments like this only 2 months after the game's release is absolutely INSANE, I freaking love this community

[@jacksmith8299]

On the topic of Digital vs. Physical, I think it’s neat how a physical person used a digital game to build a physical device that converts physical inputs into digital outputs expressed as physical motion. So elegante. Outstanding work, my man. Lots of people are making computers in TotK, but your personality and humor is far above and beyond the rest.

[@captianblitz]

For those of you who want Zonatie via more…intended methods (especially after 1.2.0 that took our funny cave), try runing through the Depths mine under that spiral peninsula with the Gemimik Shrine. Plenty of enemies and ore despots every blood moon

[@cowcat8124]

You should wear the Thunder Helm, the Zonite Waistguard, and the Zonite Shin Guards. That way you get electricity immunity and extra battery at the same time.

[@fishwoz17]

The explanation for this is incredibly confusing but the end product is so satisfying.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Tony: "I barely played the game." Your Hero's Path must look hilarious, all this scrambling around one tiny concentrated area on the map. I wanna see it! 😂

[@tonyhinderman]

Idk what that is yet but Ill be sure to post it in the community tab when I do get to it 😂

[@Tekkerue]

@@tonyhinderman It's a map feature that was also in Breath of the Wild. It adds a green line to your map and traces out the path you've taken while playing the game so you can see where you've been. And yes, you do have to complete certain quests to get it (no spoilers). Look forward to seeing it. 😄

[@gigas115]

The build limit is probably more of a limit of the Switch than Nintendo deciding an arbitrary number. Main reason I think so is because it's higher than most people would run into just trying to make the kinds of simple machines Nintendo expects, anyways. (Except the bridge-building shrine, anyways.)

[@Ethan-tx1jv]

Congrats dude! I’m so glad you managed to build this thing. I’ve been following since this all started and I’m excited to see where you go in the future!

[@MazDance]

I cannot express the grin I had on my face watching it come to life. I’m still a bit lost on how all the moving parts work, but I can understand the output well enough to be amazed!

[@Thanatos2996]

At this rate, I'm expecting a 4-bit CPU in TOTK by the time the next Zelda comes out.

[@CensoredHarbor]

Damn bro less than 100 subs before this? Talk about blowing up. Your vid production is great- these videos have been a ton of fun to watch. Keep it up!

[@moby405]

You might want to know that if you complete the full Yiga sidequest you get the Thunderhelm which provides complete electricity resistance with only armor piece. You could then also wear two parts of the zonai set for increased battery time if that's convenient.

[@marinadavies1917]

honestly you do a great job of explaining binary simply

[@marinadavies1917]

one of the things i think is most interesting about binary (and for that matter all bases even tho its not super self evident) is the number of digits works just like in base ten. In base ten each new digit occurs when we reach a new power of ten, one is 10^0, ten is 10^1, one hundred is 10^2 etc etc (also interesting is that the number of digits is equal to n+1 where n is the exponent on ten). Similarly this is true of base two except each new digit occurs ever power of two (which makes learning them very important in computer science), so one is 1 is 2^0, two is 10 is 2^1, four is 100 is 2^2, eight is 1000 is 2^3, etc etc. The pattern of the number of digits being equal to the exponent plus one is still here too!

[@marinadavies1917]

I don’t expect anyone to actually read all of this I just love math so much its all so interesting

[@tonyhinderman]

@@marinadavies1917 This is something I didnt understand until doing this video and then something about it just clicked! Number systems aren't really something I thought abt much before but its fascinating the patterns that emerge in math

[@Kram1032]

​@@marinadavies1917 that's just how all bases work though? Like, you can literally play that same game even with *complex* numbers as the base if you want. For instance, base (1+i) is pretty fun

[@r_bear]

@@Kram1032yes, it is, but lots of people don't understand that and it hampers their understanding of different bases.

[@crazyMLC]

People love to speculate that we're living in a simulation, a world within a world. So it's funny for me to consider that this full adder is calculating within a calculator, like you mentioned at the end. Calculator matrix.

[@SilverstringsMusings]

Really enjoying your editing style.

[@nagato1228]

It would be neat if one of the DLC options came with a large zonai sandbox mode. Big blank room, device and material spawners, increased build limit, we would see some insane contraptions

[@skycastrum5803]

Should probably watch the full thing before commenting, but it was kinda funny hearing that the TotK fuse monstrosity made more sense than the numbers and charts.

[@TeamAquasHideout]

The spontaneous accent and cowboy hat at 12:54 only serves to make it more of an Engineer TF2 moment in my eyes. I can totally picture him saying that line.

The fact that the sails stay in place is actually super interesting. If we were to somehow remove the build limit, there might be some way to use sails as a type of storage.

[@F4l3n]

Your commitment and follow-through got this subscription. Jsyk.

[@Zarathustra-rj4yz]

It's mind-blowingly remarkable how one can implement real world applications using the in game physics and materials. I've seen all sorts of contrivances i wouldn't think possible in totk. I can't wait to see more of what people come up with.

[@thedontpanic]

Even if it's just for insane, overcomplicated, and impractical builds that don't have any other game application, I wish that Nintendo would add some kind of Free Building mode to this game. It would have to be separate entirely from the actual open world so that the builds would be able to use more memory, of course. But the amount of imagination this game has inspired already makes me want to see what it would be like if it was unchained from the 20 attachment limit. Though I do think there is something to be said for the creativity that limits such as this foster, and hats off to you for making a full adder within these constraints.

The inputs of this adder are zonai activations, but the outputs are electric currents. That means this adder can't even theoretically be connected to other adders.

[@redskullfire706]

keep in mind binary code is a pattern of different electrecal inputs at different timings to reach a computation of data of mutitudes of a circuit

[@jagurz]

..you’ve just made me understand binary. I’m not even joking. I struggled SO HARD in my AP computer science class with it and you just?
