Glossary
repeaters - the blocks which allow to interact with redstone over internet
packet - a bunch of bytes sent over the internet, that do something with a single repeater
How it works
A packet is int / 4 bytes / 32 bits
Packet format:
[ 01 ] [ 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ] [ 29 30 31 32 ]
action bits 2-28 of repeater id payload
- action:
1to write,0to read - payload: power level if writing
If writing, no response
If reading, response is the power level, or 0 if not powered or no repeater with that ID
Reading powers the block down of course
BUT you should power it down (or read), wait some, and then read again
Retstone
Network translates to reto in Esperanto
So retsomething means networked something (posto - mail, retposto - email, ejo - place (site), retejo - website, etc.)
And sometimes we use network instead of internet, same is in that language
Hence retstone
