Talk:Tutorials/Basic logic gates

This is an effort to simplify logic gates so that the newbie redstone dude can understand it a little easier. Any help is appreciated. Ambivalent 19:05, 4 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I think sandstone top texture would be nicer to use instead of sand. I'll change it if you don't have a problem.
 * Additionally, I wonder if we need a template for these logic gates, instead of creating separate images for each. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 09:36, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I have no problem with that. I cropped those images off of this image, so if you want to change it up a bit, that's fine by me. Ambivalent 17:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 17:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I swear some day I'm going to update that image and make it more relevant again >_< I made it back before the standard diagram convention was adopted, though honestly I don't like the convention anyways (too complicated for newbies). I appreciate you guys going with this one though :P --Mwr247 04:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to get an opinion on some changes. I added in links to a javascript Redstone Simulator for each gate(and the first two diodes), accessed by clicking the image. Changed to only include link in thumbnail description, per request to keep image links intact.

As well, I found the ON/off tables to be a bit of an eye-sore, and tried out a color based table, similar to colors used for redstone in-game. --Cavemaneca 01:34, 29 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I like it, but could you use colors that are a bit less similar, such as red and green? Just a suggestion. Ambivalent 00:49, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, the idea was to mimic the colors used by redstone in-game, as that is more intuitive than other color combinations.
 * Looking at it now, I find the green to be "ugly" and no more clear on whether the signal is off or on. I'd appreciate more feedback from others however. Red/Green doesn't have a previous correlation with on/off states in Minecraft, but the "lit" red and "dark" red do.Cavemaneca 08:51, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Diodes
I have added three diodes (repeater, traditional repeater, and glowstone diode) due to their simplistic nature and how useful they can be to newbies who need to isolate inputs but don't know how. Despite not being a "gate," their output varies with where their input comes from, so I think it's a close enough fit. Skyboy 06:22, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, The images may be difficult to convert to RSSim since there's no glowstone representation. Perhaps there should be. Skyboy 06:25, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Pretty good. Maybe simplify the wording a bit, but other than that, good job. Ambivalent 23:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

IMPLIES Gate?
Should it be added, or is it just a bit too technical for the Redstone Newbie? --2.123.117.105 00:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
