Ever wanted to randomly generate any number between 0 and 10 billion in vanilla Minecraft? No... Oh well, i made it anyway ;)

Technically it's between 0 and 9,999,999,999 inclusive but that takes too long to write. (it still has 10 billion different outcomes) This could have been a lot smaller and faster using 7 segment displays, but this was also a test for my word processor memory and shift register.

Press start on this and it will give you a number that you will most likely never come across again in your lifetime.

This is amazing, I was confused a bit about why the memory behind each display was so large, then I realized it contained all 0-9 AND A-Z :p. My only recommendation is that you make the actual display screen complete redstone lamps instead of just the required amount and black wool around the rest (I tried and you can do it by only slightly changing the bottom right/left segments). In my opinion it makes it look better, almost like an actual computer screen. Great job overall thought :).

Also another thing- I noticed that you had an individual memory for each display and that you send the signals telling it which character to choose from that display. On my word processor, I made it so there was only one main memory and instead of sending the signals to tell each display which character to choose, it sent the actual character information to each display. This is just a recommendation and would probably take a bit of redesigning and time to do this (using this I was able to build one of, if not the smallest A-Z word processor in minecraft).

Thank you for taking the time to actually download and check it out :) I'll have a look what the complete lamp vs blacked out looks like. Should be fairly simple to do, i quite like the segmented look though.

I actually did change the memory on my latest design (this is about 2 months old) so that it goes on each segment rather than each character as you said. My new ones does 72 different characters (upper/lowercase letters numbers & symbols) meaning that it would have been 72 rsnor latches for each space... Now it's just 16 per. This is using your rsnor and AND gate bussing system which makes everything a lot more compact.

I'll post a new project of the progress of my word processor, maybe you could check that out. Still a long way to go though.

Thanks again for the tips and advice
