Hey guys! A few weeks ago I built this fancy line drawer and now I'm ready to show it off! It can plot leans between any two points on a 16x16 screen and takes its inputs as those two points. That means it can handle any slope you throw at it!


For those of you who are interested in some of the more technical details, I've used an algorithm called Bresenham's line drawing algorithm (http://en.wikipedia...._line_algorithm). The version I used only requires addition and subtraction - no division means fast lines! I'm also going to do a video explaining how this works, so stay tuned!


I've added a world save and made a video with instructions on how to use it. It should be bug free, but if you find any definitely let me know! On occasion I find that lag causes some issues with it, but it's usually fine and you'd just have to reset and try again.



A HUGE thanks goes out to Redstonewarrior for letting me borrow his screen and decoder and to Icks for helping out with the debugging process and making the screen look fancy!

Thanks!!! I built it over the course of 2-3 days - so probably 6 or 7 hours to get it all together and debugged. I'm going to see if I can get the new inputs going today or tomorrow. Right now it only takes an input in binary, and I think it'd be better if people could input numbers they're comfortable with. :D
