| Circuits and devices are a new system for creating programmable objects from predefined modules. Currently unavailable in game
| | #REDIRECT [[Guide_to_Circuits]] |
| ==Terms==
| |
| Circuits work with two kinds of signals.
| |
| *Pulses: used to coordinate the device and tell circuits to act.
| |
| *Data: a value that the circuits store act, with, modify, and transmit as outputs.
| |
| **Strings are plain text values.
| |
| **Numbers are a numerical value that can have math done on it.
| |
| ***Booleans are a special Number expecting any number >=1(True) or 0(False)
| |
| **Refs are references to specific objects in the world.
| |
| ==I/O==
| |
| Every circuit has at least one of the following.
| |
| *Data input: These take data values that the device preforms functions with. Has a buffer that can store a single value
| |
| *Data output: these send values to inputs wired to them, overwriting the buffer.
| |
| *Pulse input: these take a pulse and trigger a function on the circuit such as doing math.
| |
| *Pulse output: these send out pulses based on some event, such as new data being written to outputs, a button on the device being pressed, or an internal clock ticking.
| |
| ==Tools==
| |
| The primary method for interacting with devices is through specialized tools.
| |
| *Circuit printer: makes all the bits for your cool new toys as well as all the tools
| |
| *Wiring tool: allows you to wire and unwire inputs and outputs. Outputs should only be wired to Inputs of a compatible type!
| |
| *Debug tool: allows you write Refs, Strings, numbers or the null value to any buffer and send pulses
| |
| *Copy tool: Allows you to get a text string used to copy devices.
| |
| *Multitool: writes to bools and pulses
| |
| *crowbar: lets you open the device shells to modify them
