Description:	A 2-bit ripple counter, built using WadC. Based on the design of Fraggle's binary ripple counter from 2006. The code can generate counters of arbitrary bit-depth. I originally thought to upload a demo of an 8-bit counter (to be different to Fraggle's example) but there's already a built-by-hand 8-bit counter (8-bitadd). So instead I downgraded it to 2 bit and added a surprise for when the counter overflows. Hopefully the surprise demonstrates how this construction might be used in a real map: perhaps you need to reach a certain "score" to open a door / complete the map, and you have a choice as to which tasks you complete to get to that score. The WadC code is included in a WADCSRC lump. Requires WadC 2.1 or newer to build.

Description             : A 2-bit ripple counter, built using WadC. Based on
                          the design of Fraggle's binary ripple counter from
                          2006. The code can generate counters of arbitrary
                          bit-depth. I originally thought to upload a demo of
                          an 8-bit counter (to be different to Fraggle's
                          example) but there's already a built-by-hand 8-bit
                          counter (8-bitadd). So instead I downgraded it to 2
                          bit and added a surprise for when the counter overflows.

Hopefully the surprise demonstrates how this construction
                          might be used in a real map: perhaps you need to reach a
                          certain "score" to open a door / complete the map, and you
                          have a choice as to which tasks you complete to get to that
                          score.

The WadC code is included in a WADCSRC lump.
                          Requires WadC 2.1 or newer to build.
