I found a really good redstone alternative before redstone came out; I'd melt ice and it'd become stationary water. Then, I'd till dirt next to it (actually I'd do this before so the water doesn't update) and put a block 4-5 higher than the water. I'd place a pig on that block so when the pig is shot off and lands on the tilled block, there is a block update and the water falls, taking down torches holding up sand and then creating something cool like a sand doorway.
