The main issue isn't the CPU as such, it's memory. You can reasonably make a usable CPU using relays even, but a non-trivial amount of memory takes up sooo much

- jfoutz 3y agoI learned this in Minecraft. I’d wired up ttls in college for intro to ee for cs majors, which was fun. But ram was a beast. I guess I’ll build another tower and upgrade to a full 1k. Ram takes so much space.
- vintermann 3y agoThe Virtual Circuit Board game/sandbox at Steam offers an external memory, presumably for this reason. I remember a Minecraft mod from way back that let you do "modular" redstone, going "into" blocks to build redstone inside them, which you could then reuse as a single block. I wonder if it's been updated.
