A friend sent me the YouTube video, which is a fantastic watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXPiqk0-zDY.

Minecraft computers have been done for a while now, but seeing a full RISC-V computer running programs is really impressive, and frankly just seems really cool. The programs are written in Rust, and then compiled to run in game. Plus, the author needed to write their own mod to make the Terraria wiring efficient enough to support the computer: https://github.com/misprit7/WireHead

Cross-compile an emulator to RISC-V, then the false vacuum decays and cats and dogs live together.

Now we need a terraria build for RISC, so we can play terraria in terraria

It seems I have underestimated Terraria as a sandbox game.

I mean there's Minecraft-in-Minecraft, not quite the same but... getting very meta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I

I cannot believe he did the wiring "by hand". Loved the bug example he highlighted, which I hope is something he can reference later in life, "What's the most difficult bug you ever fixed?"
