g What do "Validate", "Send", "Pause", "Reset" and "Start" buttons do?

4 years ago

I can't seem to figure out if they do anything. Can anyone explain these?
Also an unrelated question, is this mod based on another mod?

The buttons don't do anything for now I had struggle to work on the mod
Validate and Send was related to analysing the code manualy written by hand, checking for errors and sending to the computers (since when you update a program you don't always want to update in real time)
Pause would pause the computer with the possibility to resume, clicking on pause when paused allowing to run a cycle.
Reset would reset cpu control pointer to its third cell and the register to NUL 0 allowing to reboot the program.
Start would resume the cpu.
With these three buttons you could do any action like instant reboot (Reset), pausing (Pause), Stoping (Pause,Reset),
Stepping (pause while paused)

This mod was based on the idea of a really old mod from 0.14 but was completely rewritten with the vision of programs physicaly written in cells instead of written on lua memory, permitting blueprinting and copy-paste

The last update made pause reset and start buttons working. validate and send are replaced by load and save
