# coloring computers
|
|
|
|
non-electronic computers that work when you color them according to a simple set of rules.
|
|
|
|
an exploration of computation without electricity and semiconductors, an attempt to reinvent digital systems away from efficiency and productivity, and hopeful prototypes to expose the inner workings of computers.

|
|
|
|
the booklet contains three series of computers: computers that compare, computers that count, and computers that play. they are all {nor}-based logic circuits designed by using truth tables, karnaugh maps, and maxterm expansions.
