Wire FPGA - Field-programmable Gate Array

[N00bDud3]

Actually, the IC combined with just this wouldn't have any more power than just this. This is essentially an IC of logic gates, so what you'd have would be an IC of ICs of logic gates which wouldn't add any extra power.

I meant that it would cause less graphics/physics lag, and allow for highly complex stuff in 1 package.

Thanks.
I got an update: The save/load functions are now working 100%, so I'll start developing the entity

When this is done, make a challenge: Make the most epic awesome sick [laggy] thing you can with FPGAS, and only FPGAS!

Awesome.

Am i missing something here?
This just seems like a programmable gate limited to any of the functions the gates have to me...

Just that it is 20 times easier to build something complex without having to use 20 gates.

I cant get it.. for what exactly this will be useful in gmod?

[Donkie]

Ther is stuff that can do much more powerful stuff, but making a CPU out of these for example requiers skills. I guess the developers just want new ways to show off their skills.

You can make binary adders and all other binary chips, even registers and other latches/flip-flops (If you input the outputs). This enables you to make binary computers from scratch, which is cool.

You can also use it as a programmable memory for your computers.

This and a lot of other stuff.


An example (A 1-bit full adder):

	Inputs			Outputs
A	B	Ci	|	Co	S
0	0	0	|	0	0
1	0	0	|	0	1
0	1	0	|	0	1
1	1	0	|	1	0
0	0	1	|	0	1
1	0	1	|	1	0
0	1	1	|	1	0
1	1	1	|	1	1

This isn't useful.
This is fun.

Edit:
After this you can go on and make a конструктор clone, Matte

That would be amazing!
