Automated 4 Second Clock Animation

Like I said in this video earlier, we've been working on animation in tandem with developing our computational substrates, on level three of our lab. We've developed a 10x10 LED display with arbitrary length animations using multiplexers and timers. Below is the gif of our little animated clock. Fully automated and functional, each frame is one second long, as evidenced by the below.



If anyone knows of a way to efficiently make counters and separate read-only-memory banks, it'd go a long way towards streamlining this. It's just a proof of concept at the moment. Also, for anyone interested in the complexity, here is the wire image. It's random and convoluted because we merge ROM with actual logic.

 

That is very very impressive, 10/10

 

Thanks!

 

We need more ideas! Send us them and we might build it!

 

Nothing to add at present except: Impressive!

 

Simply awesome.

 

Thanks to both of you!

 

I'd love to build my own lab in game and conduct my own little experiments with certain game functions and mechanics

If anything, you've given me more inspiration for creativity, even if I can't do the sorts of things you pulled off, for my own enjoyment, you've given me a fun idea to work with

 

that is unbelievably cool! and spaghetti indeed

MORE LASERS THAN A GERMAN NIGHTCLUB

 

We're posting a race track we made soon!

 

i don't know what this is and it hurts my head.

 

It's pretty much a 4 second long clock.

 

Is there a practical application of this layout? Are you going to try to create a large digital wall-clock? That would be neat. Just set it to whatever time it is when you start it, and then leave it running in a loop.

Are there other applications for this, or is this just a "because we can" kind of thing?
