Player Creates Working Computer in Minecraft

[Formica Archonis]

The project is far from complete as he plans to add RAM and registers to make it a legitimate computer.

And then port Minecraft to it.

And that would take up this year's quota for batshit lunacy.

(Looks over news.) Must be a huge quota.

In all seriousness, this is pretty damn awesome. The only thing I'm worried about is what he'll do when/if he makes it larger than the map allows.

 

[Kavonde]

Dude. He built a computer within a computer.

This is some freaking Inception shit.

I just...seriously? What is wrong with people? And I say that in the nicest possible way because that's incredible (at least to me)!

But is it better than the Starship Enterprise Greg?

 

[jaammiie]

I wish I had the time to do this. Oh yeah, and the intellect.

The map fully generated can reach up to 8 times the surface area of the earth. I think he has enough room.

 

[Brad Shepard]

That... that looks like it took too much time, its cool and all but... wow.

You wouldn't believe how huge. Every year the budget for lunacy has to just about double. Good ol' Jack takes up quite a bit of it, but they had to disbar him from law so he'd use less when we had budget cuts.

 

[wasalp]

Sure he built a computer inside a game, but the fact that said computer will be able to understand a programming language makes this even more awesome.

Godspeed smart person.

 

[Viper1265]

Impressive, and although this one is not as powerful, I give it bonus points for having a proper display.

 

[Antari]

Someone show that guy the sun, I doubt hes seen it for years.

 

[Nukey]

This reminds of the guy who made a computer in Dwarf Fortress. This is, however, a little more impressive, as it seems to run a bit better.

Although the former is still very, very cool, as he did make a computer in a fantasy game.

 

[Odegauger]

I knew someone would do this eventually.

 

[hittite]

First real step towards making a virtual reality.

A computer within a computer sounds like a VERY interesting premise.

... so, that being said, WHAT THE HELL IS MINECRAFT AND WHY IS IT SO POPULAR LATELY?

Spoiler

Pretty much this.

Yo dawg I heard you like computers so we put a computer in your computer so you can play minecraft while you play minecraft!!

Ha! I am teh ninjorz!

: )

Then the ninja was ninja'd:

Yo dawg, so I heard you liked computing, so I put a computer in your computer so you can compute while you compute!

Pretty nicely done indeed, but I still prefer the Enterprise D 1:1 model for sheer geek points.

Anyway, that's pretty amazing... Yea, he probably spent way more time doing this than he should have, but he still deserves kudos for this. ^_^

 

[Retardinator]

Oh God! It's the computer evolution all over again! But in Minecraft!
Still, this is quite away from becoming an actual computer. The title is quite misleading concerning that.

 

[John the Gamer]

He has no life. And although it's probably fun to build a computer in a game (maybe one dat it can play minecraft) I don't think it has much usage. I mean, everyone knows that 2+1=3 right?

 

[repeating integers]

people who put that much effort into something as meaningless as this
are really wasting their talent
would you rather they blow the world up and crash the server with dynamite?
YES.

(an IRC channel I visit)

We were referring to this:

This game looks cool, but I know I wouldn't be able to do anything in it due to massive creativity deficit when it comes to physically building stuff. I'll just satify myself with watching everyone else's magnificent creations.

That's something they're actually working on: [URL="http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45107" ]MetaMinecraft[/URL].
