The (Dot) Matrix

Description
What's the definition of a computer?.. A machine which can take inputs, process them using some kind of logic, and then produce output. That's exactly what I've achieved here, a computer. Using two buttons, representing digits of a binary number (XX), you can create a total of 4 combinations. 00, 01, 10, 11 (box on button = 1, no box on button = 0). In decimals, this equates to 0, 1, 2, and 3. Dropping the cubes on the buttons to create the input changes a simple LED display on the wall that creates the inputted number. I must say, I think I really REALLY took this map editor to the limits of it's abilities. No joke, you wouldn't believe how hard it was to even get this thing to Build/Publish. I did want to make a 0-7 LED display instead, but I hit the object limit quickly with that, this was the best I could do, 0-3. Check it out, I hope you like it! I wish I could publish the version that shows all the glowing dot circuits, but it won't build, it gives me an error. There's just simply too many dots!

I just realised something. This test chamber is now smarter than Valve. Because it can count to 3. How about that?

It took a 6 core, 3.7GHz CPU about 1 minute to build this chamber, which contains in it, a computer, capable of displaying the numbers 0 through to 3. Amazing right?
