Smallest Decimal to Binary encoder

[KoolKrafter]

I made a 8x14x7 decimal to binary encoder with an input panel. what's the smallest decimal to binary encoder anyone has ever made ?

Not bad, but you still have a ton of airspace in there. I very very highly doubt that that is the smallest. Just from eyeballing it and a general intuition about how much you can compress redstone, I'm guessing it could be at least twice as small maybe significantly more than that.

As one simple example, redstone does not need to be spaced out every 2 blocks in lines. If you alternate repeaters and dust in a checkerboard, you can have lines of redstone right next to each other. Probably better ways to do it by now, too.

Really? It's quite hard to make it any smaller because of the Redstone signals interfering but I'll give it a go. If I made some kind of calculator and a fancy input system on this, would it get my Whitelist do you think?

the only problem with using alternate Redstone and repeaters is the delay...
I've kept it on 3 for each one so far.

If you are going to claim 'smallest' you go for smallest. Not 'reasonably small while avoiding some delay'.

[Xray_Doc]

Ususally if you are trying to make something small it won't be fast the first few times you try making it but you can probably make it faster. But it probably still won't be as fast as one that has more space. But nice job making this so compact!

Thanks for the feedback - I'll make another version with some delay and I'll make it even smaller.

no, a decimal decoder alone isn't WL.

No, I mean with a calculator and memory or something.
