Typewriter in Classicube

[ikkebinz]

I came back to using redstone and built a typewriter in Classicube! All the letters and numbers work, and some punctuation.

It took me two days to start and finish it.

Where can I try it?

On the "unicode lounge" server. The map is called typewriter conveniently.

That is awesome! 

I have to admit, as a minecraft redstoner myself, this is far beyond anything I could do.

Bravo to you my friend. This is absolutely amazing!

All I got is positive comments! This makes me happy 😄

If you want to try out the typewriter, it's on:
unicode lounge
map name: typewriter

UnknownShadow200 was also surprised by the build, he said "very impressive work - i've never seen it being used like that before"

I have some ideas I could use to upgrade the typewriter:

- I could turn it into a console if i let it run commands (print, calc, show, etc.)
  to make it so it would figure out the command you wanted to run
  then it takes the rest of the text and outputs something
- A slightly bigger screen
  (3x3 pixels with 1 block spacing)
  would make the typewriter slightly thinner.
- If I made the characters 5 x 7 with no line space, I could fit the special letters in
  like Ę, Ė, Š, Ž
- I should size up the keyboard to 3 x 3 keys so people stop breaking the carpets! and letting the lava loose! 😠

btw i made a proximity sensor
not important but still cool

It's really cool and I'd like to try, but I couldn't get it to work last I tried.

I broke the carpet too and let the lava loose, not because the keys aren't big enough, but because it's not intuitive that you have to break the lava. To break lava, people also to enable breakable liquids first.

Can't you put regular blocks instead?

If not, you should be able to set the carpet to be unbreakable.
