Picture a pocket calculator type interface, a square thing that you can hold in your hand.
It has screen at the top, button bellow - some have values, other effects, other actions.
(But forget the electronic part, the display is just stuff written on rotating wheel.)
The display:
One wheel of the display has a colour: purple, red, yellow, black.
Another wheel has numbers from -3 to 6.
The values buttons:
There are 4 colours buttons, one for each colour. At any time a single button is always pressed down.
There are number 1 to 10. At any time a single button is always pressed down
The effect buttons:
There are 4 effect buttons, they can work independently, and can be all on or off or combination.
The Action buttons:
A compute button, take the value from the colour and from the, add any of the effect, change the display accordingly.
A reset button, turn all effect button off, the colour button to have purple pressed down, the number button to have 3 pressed down. The screen reset accordingly.
Example if press these button, the screen would show purple 6 when I hit the Result button:
Basically I want a mechanical analog computer than can do substraction, and addition by 1 (maybe multiple time) and then display some results.
How can I learn to design that?
