16-bit ALU in minecraft

This is the first part of a planned 16-bit computer that will run entirely in minecraft. That computer will be “Hack” compatible, which is to say that it’ll run code meant for the Hack machine described in The Elements of Computing Systems (a fantastic book that you should look up if you are at all interested in how computers work. Its website is www.idc.ac.il ). Some more info: The design was drawn up in a program called Redstone Simulator (does what it says on the tin), which was written by Baezon on the Minecraft Forums www.minecraftforum.net MCEdit ( minecraftforums.net ) was used to help clear off space and import the design into minecraft. Hours of experimenting with prototypes, modifications to the design, and debugging took place in the game itself, however. This project is far from over. Memory, here I come…

    Just wanted to say this was the first computer-within-a-computer video I ever watched, and was a big selling point for MC for me (Even though I would/could never do this). I don’t know if it was actually the very first ever, and there’s a lot of similar projects now. Have you seen the piston array? Anyway, I never bothered commenting on this before, but figured I’d put forward my kudos. Amazing, and mind blowing. What’s the current status??

    @batboyx2 false, 3d graphics are impossible with a monochrome display.

  23. batboyx2 says:

    @badjokeHD Well, actually, being completely theoretical, you could build a computer that would allow you to play minecraft, but the redstone would lagg so much it would be very slow and it is completely inconseivable that someone would put in the time, it would take years of straight work, decades, But it could be done.
