We have some nice monitors / advanced monitors now
but may i ask for the slope version of them?
I think it could be great for somewhere like message board / control rooms
[Sorry for my bad english]

My instinct is to say no to this. It would be a nightmare to code with! And making programs compatible with all types would be a nightmare.

Slope version?

Perhaps he means slopes akin to kaevator (spelled that wrong)'s slope mod?
Also.
Why'd you get +1 for that post? Are you that popular?

I imagine them as a right-angled triangular prism:

They might look neat in control rooms (you can put them on the floor instead of at eye height, and still be able to see them, and still be able to see over them)

Interesting idea.

[Sebra]

Interesting, but not so interesting as other interesting ideas

First I would like to see monitors you could place facing up/down. You could make windows table style app and games with adv computers touch input.

which is just asking for an event that fires when somebody walks on it... anyone?

These aren't cubes. I thought MC was cubes.

Firstly with LWJGL/OpenGL it is possible to make other shapes... as for "MC was cubes", brewing stands aren't cubes. A lot of BC, IC2 and RP2 items aren't cubes... so why does CC need to stay with cubes?

Oh, maybe a semi-transparent monitor that placed somewhat like glass/iron bars (but was always full width) would be neat. Not an actual suggestion, just saying.

that would be cool, a transparent touchable monitor. floating letters
btw i totaly support up/down ward facing monotors and slopes

[KaoS]

up and down facing would be incredible, I always wanted to build a floor using adv. monitors that will follow you with a touchscreen interface for directions and then use arrows on the floor to direct you there (using OCS of course)

Wow thats a cool idea! ofc that means they would have to try make it send an event when someone or something is standing on it... that might be hard/impossible... but moving arrows would be cool anyways... OR those lines like in hospitals and military compounds...

don't need standing events when you have OCS sensors everywhere (I love those things)
