Panorama Business Machines (PBM) is a technology company in ROP, that makes computational redstone products of varying computational class, ranging from simple teaching tools to full computers.
Founded by piguman3, the company was started to give structure to the development of these computational redstone devices.
Products
[edit | edit source]P00F
[edit | edit source]The P00F is a Minivac 601-like teaching tool, containing 2 PBM memory cells that can increment or decrement their value. Depending on the configuration of the device it could perform addition or subtraction.
Currently residing on the second floor of the PBM HQ, it's the only device with proper documentation from the company.

MID964
[edit | edit source]Built specifically for the purpose of hosting gambling software at the ROP Casino, the MID964 is a full Brainfuck computer capable of generating random numbers. It does this by generating single random bits and multiplying them by powers of 2 to generate full numbers with uniform randomness. This function is bound to a new instruction that replaces one of the move instructions, as the computer only has 2 memory cells, based on the original P00F design.
Currently runs a "guess the number" game where the user has to input the random number the computer came up with, getting a reward if they guessed correctly.
Code: *[->++++>]>*[->++>]>*++,[>+>-[>->-]>[.-]]
MID965
[edit | edit source]
An upgrade to the original MID964, it holds 6 memory cells instead of 2, adding back the move instruction, though losing the randomness capability. It has more program memory, with storage for up to 61 symbols, and an entire 3x3 lamp display connected via a serial connection to the computer.
The first server test of the computer was built on top of a hill in HRT, and is currently undergoing testing to debug and verify its functionality.
