Don't miss the other video showing the overview of the CPU, it's seriously impressive: https://youtube.com/watch?v=FDiapbD0Xfg

#72How would someone get into designing/simulating CPUs and computers other than Minecraft? Is there any software for learning and implementing "simple" logic circuits, memory, etc?
Sorry for being this rough but, what a naive question this is. Of course there is.
In natural language, asking "is there" is implicitly asking for more than just a truth value. It's expected that the response will include an example; a witness to the answer "yes". The indirection is considered polite and non-aggressive by many people. In particular, a direct question like "What software exists for this?" is sometimes met with a "Have you tried Google?", when the intent is also to get recommendations and not a pile of search results to evaluate as a newcomer.
In this case, they got a rude answer anyway. I hardly think that's their fault though.

#73The 0.1fps time scale makes no difference to people living within this minecraft universe. From their perspective a second is a second and a day is a day. Funny.
See Greg Egan's PERMUTATION CITY for more on that.

#74This is incredible!

With MCHPRS the demo takes 9 hours to run, it would take decades using Minecraft. Ok, to clarify, is MCHPRS a functioning Minecraft Server that can support a player logging in and mining? This story is seeming a lot more like "A 1Hz CPU made on something that has mechanical similarities to Minecraft".
Seems like splitting hairs. The redstone mechanics needed to run the computer are implemented exactly the same as the real game. The computer can be loaded into real minecraft and runs as expected. MCHPRS just takes out what the computer doesn't use and optimizes the simulation of it. I would call that a computer running in minecraft, but you could argue either way.
Almost like running a game in a NES emulator at 10,000x speed and claiming it's implemented exactly like the NES.

Talk about gatekeeping...
And yet you're talking about it despite replying to someone who clearly wasn't gatekeeping. They were offering suggestions.
You don't start a suggestion with "Why 74xx parts, other than nostalgia for an era that was over decades before he was born?"

#77My son has gotten into designing logic circuit with Redstone. I wish I could get him to do the same with 74xx/54xx parts.
If logic ICs don’t appeal, maybe he’d be interested in relay logic? There’s something super satisfying about a totally electromechanical contraption clunking away and ‘thinking’.

If the NES game in question ran at 18 hours per frame on real hardware, then I think people would give it a pass. This project is beyond awesome, we can spare it the usual HN nitpicks.

#79Pft, only monochrome? /s Pretty awesome, kudos
