This is without doubt the most mind-blowing DF construction I have ever witnessed, good sir. Bravao! Kelu 08:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree, amazing. --Khelek 20:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I would love to see a video of it in process. Very nice construction :) ~~

How are you planning to input decimal? Immibis 02:58, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Dude, this needs an upload to the map repository and videos of it working. Awesome. Beats megaprojects hands down. I'm bowing right now!Garrie 11:51, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

The decimal display is the most amazing part. Nice. --Squirrelloid 14:48, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

youre amazing

youre godamn amazing

Schematics

Due to the nature of the invisibility of DF's mechanics, I can't tell what's hooked up to what in here... Can you help me understand how this all works?--Aescula 09:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

For subtraction... it becomes much easier if you pick the right way to represent a negative number. If you have the largest bit of a number represent the sign, you can then add as normal and exploit the rollover. So to subtract B from A you just need to flip B's sign bit and add.

You can use 2 bits complement binary representation for substraction (and general computation) you'd only go from 499 to -500 for input digits but it really simplifies adding/substraction (basically both are the same only the sign of the second number would have to be changed (this would allow for substracting negative numbers (thus adding them). And this is also how microprocessors in real computers (not computers made inside games ran on computers) work :P 2's complement wikipedia

Awesome

It's only a matter of time now until you can run dwarf fortress in dwarf fortress.

• Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete. No, seriously; someone built a Turing machine in Conway's Game of Life.

You Win

I think you just won all of Dwarf Fortress forever. Parthon. --203.59.88.183 19:56, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not worthy! --Kami 11:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Eh, negative schmegative.

Just use two's complement representations. Easy as pi! Calculating pi, that is. Hmm. Off to build a pi-calculator in DF-land....

I feel unworthy downloading and testing it myself. Bravo, sir! --Haspen 20:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
