Inspired by this Game of Life question.
Wireworld simulates "electrons" flowing through "wires", simple arrangements of which produce typical logic gate behavior.
I challenge you to build a digital clock in the Wireworld cellular automaton. Your clock must count upwards from 00:00 to 23:59 in t...

The scenario
Lately you have been noticing some strange behavior with your favorite text editor. At first it seemed that it was ignoring random characters in your code when writing to disk. After a while you noticed a pattern; characters with odd ASCII values were being ignored. Under further in...
