It's been a while, thread.
Anyway, my laptop can't handle multiplayer, but it kinda manages ssp with fully optimised settings. Yesterday I decided to amuse myself by making something that ended up being entirely pointless - a clock tower.
The face isn't finish yet, obviously. This is just across the lake from my house. I would put a door in, but the redstone messes it up... The lever you see stops all of the redstone inside.
The pulser, with an extra repeater to make the timing about one second (for a ticking noise). The lever I mentioned is on the other side of the wall, next to the raised block. If repeaters hadn't been added, this would have taken up all of the floor space.
Two views looking up. Yep, for the noise I didn't use noteblocks or anything like that, I decided to use
doors. In order to get more full a sound (so that you could hear it evenly at whatever height) I had a pillar of redstone torches going upward. On the redstone torches that were by default off when the rest were on, I used an inverter (duh). Unfortunately this system gives a slight delay between all of them, but it uses significantly less redstone.
A view looking down and at the top of the tower.
Unfortunately sound only travels for a certain amount of blocks, so I can't hear it ticking away in my house, but meh, I'll probably build something over there soon. Then I might switch the whole thing off if it starts getting annoying haha.
