A project for HPCII by BrettK during the 2013.

This project was begun on 3/22/13 and is anticipated to take X AMOUNT OF TIME. (Upon completion you can correct this with the actual length).

State the purpose of this project. What is the point of this project? What do we hope to accomplish by undertaking it?

Understanding logic can be quite difficult, and with this project I want to make the learning curve a little less steep.

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

• Resources:
• A Minecraft Account(possibly)
• or
• MinecraftSP which is only single player version but it works
• you can get that here MinecraftSP
• This is a java based game so you will need that too. Java.com

• Experiences:
• Play the game for a few and get used to the controls and how the game feels

State the idea or purpose of the project. What are you attempting to pursue? Upon approval, you'll want to fill this section out with more detailed background information. DO NOT JUST PROVIDE A LINK. Providing any links to original source material, such as from a project page, is a good idea. You'll want to give a general overview of what is going to be accomplished (for example, if your project is about installing a web server, do a little write-up on web servers. What is it, why do we need one, how does it work, etc.)

Minecraft is a game that allows you to create the world of your dreams(well, at least an 8-bit version of it). When the creator of this game included Redstone he created something he might not have planned. Redstone can allow you to create beautiful traps and supersize doors, but that isn't what where after. Redstone's ability to turn on and off in real time allows us to use our creations more than one time. This feature is what im after(On/Off). Now I'm no expert on logic gates so I'm going to use the existing tutorials on Play-Hookey.com as a stepping-stone and impliment them into Minecraft. This way we can see how our logic change when we change the input.

Give a general overview of your anticipated implementation of the project. Address any areas where you are making upfront assumptions or curtailing potential detail. State the focus you will be taking in implementation.

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

• A greater understanding to how logic gates work: This tutorial should by no means be short, so working with it for this long should increase my understanding
• attribute2: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
• etc…

The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

• 1. The first step is to get the required material(listed above) and to open into a creative, basic grassland super-flat world, this world type is perfect because you don't have to worry about hills or water or anything else in your way.
• 2. All you will need for this tutorial is: a lever, Redstone(obviously), Redstone torch and stone

• The Not gate is the easiest to set up and see how it works. By Activating the lever you turn the redstone off. How this works is by powering the stone block, the redstone torch turns off therefore turning the redstone off

  Not Gate Off

  Not Gate ON

• The Or gate is the next one to set up. By activating either lever you power the block and turn the redstone on

  Or Gate Off

  Or Gate On

  And if you turn both levers on you will be able to power the redstone

Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within <code> </code> blocks here.

/*
 * hello.c - A sample "Hello, World!" program
 * 
 * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE
 *
 * compile with:
 *   gcc -o hello hello.c
 *
 * execute with:
 *   ./hello
 */
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!\n");    // Output message to STDOUT
    return(0);
}

Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:

lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
Hello, World!
lab46:~/src/cprog$
