Blast from the past

In the years of the TrickysTutorials servers, I had probably around +60 more dupes or so (I think). I spent a lot of my time in it. Unfortunately I only saved a few before TT went down, but most were lost. Here's a (VERY) small list of contraptions I've made over the years spent in TT and just Gmod in general:

Chess set (VERY OLD). Many people from TT might remember it:


Auto scanning keycard reader (pretty old). Controlled by an E1 chip using a simple algorithm.


Box robot (very very VERY old). Probably my first robot ever made in Gmod. Uses no expression chip, the chips can be seen on the plate. I might have even made this before E1 even existed. I really don't remember. I remade this using my computer
Blueline quite a while afterwards.


My first wire camera (with quad screens). This is the oldest contraption in my dupe list. I built it the first weeks I started going to TT (around the time Strongbad and Lt. Smith got admin, if memory serves me). Full wire, takes 1 picture in about 30 seconds or so)


The dupe name for this on is (bigassbinaryclock.txt), and it's name is accurate (except for the binary part, it's actually a BCD clock); it's a giant clock. Aut was the first one to make a BCD clock though, so props to him (his wasn't 5 stories tall though). Uses a single E1 chip. (somewhat old)


Super keypad. I didn't like the keypad tool very much. I wanted it to be able to change it's code on the fly. SO I made this one. The code elements are stored in a constant value, and the E1 houses the algorithm and does all the hard work. (pretty old)


Phx Dojo. No wire at all in this one! Took a few hours to build, but I really like how it came out. (not that old actually)


The Awesome Train. A "joint project" by me and BP :P. E1 controlled train thingy. (moderatly old)


The early computers (Most of these have no names). My early attempts at computers (though they were really just slightly cooler calculators). I have around 15 computers or so, but these two were really the start. The second one uses a cartridge system, while the first non swappable ram. (Pretty old)


Binary cartridge loader (for use with all computers after TCPU2.0 up to Blueline v1.3).
Bulky, slow, but I love it. Reads a long row of bricks and converts their colors to data until it reaches the stop point (red). I think I did maths on this before that show that 1MB of memory in this system would be something like 4 miles long of bricks. Totally impractical now-a-days, but this was the only way I could think of to save programs over dupe. (Pretty old)


BlueLine computer. It really changed shapes over it's development. From a few scattered console screens and E1 chips, to a mammoth computer room, to a washing machine-esk box) It was the first computer I really put a lot of effort into in Gmod. I actaully used it for a lot of things too.


Blueline Box robot. The rebuild I talked about up there.


And to finish this post for now, Miya. First computer I made with E2. This was before anything like XWL:writeString so the E2 has to manually do everything. Which means that the chip is over 700 lines long. I can't spawn it anymore with out disabling the preformance caps (hense the red chip). Took about a week to design, 3 days to build/code/debug). It was a lot of fun to build. (made September-November 2008, so not that old). I no longer work or support any of the computers listed in this post btw.



Anyways, that's all for now. Time for lunch...
