Analog signals from rate of activation.

the setup in the following picture will output +100 when the analog input is not 0 (battery is set to -100)

That is smart. And fast.

OR gates give sign priority to the input closest to top if 2 inputs are the same strength...

Weird. I'd never noticed that before.

...i dont think the same is true for AND gates though

Yeah. I'd done fairly extensive testing of AND gates, and as far as I could tell, they were completely symmetrical.

Ah. Looks like the same 'trick' used in some of these gizmos - I'll have to take another look. Still, I've never been keen on completely avoiding ADC, otherwise you lose the ability to use things like the selector, but I s'pose this sort of thing still has quite a few applications, like the dimmer-based logic probe.

That is smart. And fast.

You could alternatively do it like this...



...which is also zero-latency, and has a similar thermo cost, but additionally gives you the digital 1 you might need to influence a selector. The drawback is that you need at least one sackbot in the level for it to work, but that might be preferable in some cases.
