The past, present and future of the Cluedo Machine
Version 1.1
Release Date: 27th February 2013
Version 2.0
Release Date: 17th March 2013
Version 3.0 (Near-Perfection Update)
Release Date: 8th April 2013
- The 18 counters change similar to the other 18 main counters pre-V3.0.
- The only difference is that it is effected by someone saying that they cannot help
- In V2.0 and V1.1, not helping only resulted in a turn change
- This will then need 63 RS-NOR Latches feeding into 21 AND Gates, plus an additional 21 RS-NORs to maintain signal and a further 21
AND Gates for the difficulty gauge the which thus in turn feeds into some more AND Gate
The possible future of the Cluedo Machine
Size of the Machine (I.e. Bits and Bytes)
The file size of the machine is primarily down to the amount of players playing.
3 Players = 208B or 0.203KB
4 Players = 282B or 0.275KB
5 Players = 362B or 0.353KB
6 Players = 448B or 0.437KB
7 Players = 540B or 0.527KB
8 Players = 628B or 0.613KB
9 Players = 742B or 0.724KB
10 Players = 852B or 0.832KB
Release Date: 27th February 2013
- Appropriate for 1.4.7 and above
- Cards are given as 3 different items
- Basic interface within each cubicle
- Only 3 cubicles
- 63 memory cells (RS-NOR Latches)
- 22 Counters
- 137x39x139 dimensions
Version 2.0
Release Date: 17th March 2013
- Cannot be used for any version before Minecraft 1.5
- Updated reset function using the scoreboard and 'wireless redstone'
- Accusation command ("/say -------------------------------------------")
- Tutorial Zone
- Improves Aesthetics with the outside of the Cubicles (Using the new Quartz Blocks)
- Forever day using Daylight Sensors and Command Blocks
- A lobby for Multiplayer online Servers
- A finish game Button
Version 3.0 (Near-Perfection Update)
Release Date: 8th April 2013
- Named 'Near-perfection Update' down to the objective to make the machine more sensitive to various factors
- Advised to be used in 1.5.1, not 1.5
- A near-perfect machine is now enabled
- The 18 counters change similar to the other 18 main counters pre-V3.0.
- The only difference is that it is effected by someone saying that they cannot help
- In V2.0 and V1.1, not helping only resulted in a turn change
- This will then need 63 RS-NOR Latches feeding into 21 AND Gates, plus an additional 21 RS-NORs to maintain signal and a further 21
AND Gates for the difficulty gauge the which thus in turn feeds into some more AND Gate
- A gauge between Medium and Hard - Easy mode would take longer
- And, of course, a check that this all works.
- Bug Fix - AND Gate correction on a room selection point - thus resulting in a permanant ON-State for an RS-NOR Latch
The possible future of the Cluedo Machine
- More than 3 players being able to play at once
- A choice of amount of players used in 1 game
- Better design of areas
- Better multiplayer mechanics
- More Players - However, this would take a solid week of work (at least) - This may push it back to Version 4.0, and also make the whole thing at least 4 or 5 times as large to implement all of the changes with the counters (as there is more combinations)
- (Version 4 probably)
- More visual Tutorial - May result in a change in Texture pack
- Change in Texture pack for paintings
- Better interface
- Sort out any nasty bugs/faults in the machine which may be due to my error, or errors in transfer between Minecraft 1.5 and Minecraft 1.5.1
