Bump. It’s open again!
It’s back! TYSM Jeffo!
If we all could refrain from turning this into a chat room again, that would be great.
50 likes, so true.
It didn’t really need a bump though, it was near the top. Oh well, you showed appreciation for this topic. I agree with this topic’s message wholeheartedly (if it weren’t for the extremely limited memory)
Alright- I wanted to post a more detailed explanation as to why nothing is impossible, seeing as a few people didn’t believe that this post was correct.
So, there is something called a Turing machine, which is just a really, really, really simple computer. It has been proved that almost any math can be run on a Turing machine. Secondly, computers are just more complex turing machines- so a computer technically could be simplified down to a Turing machine- it would just be very large and slow.
Now, if a computer can be simplified into a turing machine, that means that everything a computer does can be done by a turing machine. Continuing this train of thought, if a turing machine were to be made in gimkit, that turing machine would be capable of all the math a normal computer is.
This means that anything that runs on a computer can be made in Gimkit.
Now, how do we know gimkit is turing complete? Well, we make a turing machine in it! I didn’t set out to do this originally, so rather than make a turing machine, I wrote a processer for a language called Brainduck. However, since Brainduck is turing complete (You can write a turing machine in brainduck), that means that you can make a turing machine in gimkit, and therefore the entire capability of a modern day computer is at your fingertips.
So, in conclusion, any code that can run on a modern computer can be run in gimkit, and so therefore, nothing is impossible.
Certain things are impossible since they have been proved impossible. I have no examples of this, but I’m sure some thing have.
There’s also exceptions like player input that people extrapolate this to.
Is GKC Turing Complete without importing a coding language that is Turing Complete?
Because you can use GKC to make a turing complete language, I assume so? I don’t think Blackhole imported Brainduck, I think he just recreated it in GKC.
There’s no importing stuff. Bh implemented brainduck in gimkit without any outside extensions.
Yeah, I know. That’s what I meant by importing it.
the beginning of the legendary graphing calculator…
Nope! The graphing calculator was made far before this, 6 days after the release of creative haha
oh weow
i just thought this was the origin because you replied with “interesting idea!” and not “yeah i used that already in a graphing calculator”
Lol
The actual origin, if I remember correctly, is I was grinding GKC trying to top myself over and over, as fast as possible, and so I just arbitrarily decided to go:
- Normal Calculator
- Tic Tac Toe
- Graphing Calculator
That’s an interesting way to learn GKC! I kinda played around with terrain for about a week because I was scared of the devices, then realized they were simple and spent a week playing with everything but block code, and only using block code sparingly because I was scared of it. Then @WhoAmI asked for _____Land, and the rest is history.
i thought making clicker heroes was impossible until i learned that someone made a graphing calculator 6 days after gkc released. and here i am, sitting here saying this with a clicker game i just published
Well… it was mainly because I needed to finish my creations as quick as possible in order to showcase them to josh- when creative first released he hosted 3 or 4 gamenights where he played community maps, so I had to work as fast as possible to keep making crazier things before the next josh gamenight.
Did you ever think about memory efficiency?
