False Dawn: The Babbage Engine

Ғылым және технология

CHM Exhibition "Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing"
Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.

I see no reason to think that it couldn't be used to play some simple games. Not video games, but some kind of geared computer controlled game, anyways.

    Indeed they were *designed* for calculations, but have you ever wonder why people like Ada so much? That's because she realized much more could be done. Things far more interesting than mere calculations. Really, I struggle to understand why you would be more interested in a banal calculation than something more involved, like a game which requires many calculations on top complex logic.

It would have been a drop in the ocean. We would be on a better timeline were it not for them. Or certainly, at the very least, an ironically different timeline.

    Error free? Integers yes, but nonintegers contains errors and these adds up quickly, making this device almost useless. It has to be restarted very often, to keep the accumulated error small. By restarting I mean, entering fresh, correct, rounded numbers, calculated by hand. Numerical example: using six decimals, the smallest constant has an error of half a millionth. This doubles for each turn of the crank.
