I have a friend who used to keep excitedly showing me his crazy, impressive redstone ALU/CPU designs. I kept trying to get him to buy an FPGA and build out something with real hardware, but he maintained that a big part of why it was fun was because of the environment and community that came with Minecraft. That might go some way toward providing an explanation.
- unwind 12y agoSo, did anyone do a Minecraft-to-VHDL transpiler yet? :) Sneak up on them and convert their in-game creations to something that can be synthesized into actual hardware.
- sly010 12y agoOr the other way around, so we (boring people) can synthesise fully working Minecraft worlds from VHDL ;)
- angersock 12y agoWe can finally build a Minecraft-Implementation of Processing Sequences!
- unwiredben 12y agoBen Heck did a couple of shows where he made real-life redstone blocks out of electronic components: http://www.element14.com/community/community/experts/benheck/blog/2014/07/18/episode-142-bens-live-action-minecraft-blocks-part-1-episode http://www.element14.com/community/community/experts/benheck... http://www.element14.com/community/community/experts/benheck/blog/2014/07/25/episode-143-bens-live-action-minecraft-blocks-part-2-episode http://www.element14.com/community/community/experts/benheck...
