Any progress on 7 segment display having the function to be implemented into a chip and be shown outside?

Before anything, i just wanna say, that i already read https://itch.io/t/3291682/7-segment-displays-in-digital-logic-sim. Also srry for long title

Now, 1) Of all, i have searched every single corner of the internet to find a mod that adds this function. No luck. (reffering to Chazzwazzler's modded version which is fire)

2) of all, Yes, i have heard of Tekragit's modded version ( also pretty fire btw) but you can only make two specific types which is i think a 4-bit register and another name that i forgor. Also, when u want to have it functioning your way, it kinda breaks and does not work.

3) of all, idk about Sebastian. He kinda seems like he forgot about this project. But this is only my prespective.

4) of all, i also know about redcraft7578 and his vid explaining it, but the function is pretty broken and it is not worth it having to struggle with installing all that.

Here is how i imagine it. I want the seven seg. disp. to be added to (almost) any chip. It also should not matter how many are there. Also when u edit this chip, it should be removable/addable. That's basically it. So... with the main question....


Is there any "real" progress being made? 


Sorry for this long aah post too and my bad english. This is my first post on itch.io too.

Hey, first thanks for reading my post, I'm glad you were able to get some information out of it.

As far as I know, there is no real progress being made on it. Besides those OK, not that they're bad, they do their job,  mods, they work, but, like you said, they can be better.

I personally don't know C#, or Unity, or anything, so I don't think I can be of any help working on a mod for DSL. 

But I definitely think it is a great idea, and something I hope in the future is worked on, and done.

And as far as Sebastian working on DSL, I'm not sure if he's "forgotten" it, but I know he has interests in other aspects of Programming, specifically Graphics, from his most recent videos. You never know, he has gone on hiatus before with DSL, maybe he'll come back to the project in a little while or so.

But if your up for trying to tackle this project, no pressure, or anything, I definitely think it's possible, and that it would be awesome.

Honestly, its a surprise! I mean... maybe Sebastian IS working on the new version, but we just dont know about it!

 Also i have been learning C#, and it is not even that complicated, i mean, all i have to do is somehow make it so that when u add a seven segment display to a chip, It needs to be shown outside, and maybe there would be like a limit to how many u can actually add, and just make some custom sprites to it, and then have the same number they are outputting inside the chip to the outside of it!

Im honestly kinda surprised why nobody made this sort of thing yet...

I'm  also quite surprised that no one has tried to do it yet, but if you're learning C#, maybe you will be the first!

why is this so unnecessarily hard
