THIS is why Minecraft is awesome

Post by Drakonis »

Holy !@$#
Minecraft can apparently do almost anything with its blocky graphics and addictive gameplay, including play host to some fantastic feats of construction. Some of you will be aware of the full scale reproduction of Star Trek’s Starship Enterprise D but Wired.com has also revealed a working computer built inside the confines of Minecraft

He's planning on expanding his project as well. That is something that I really want to see.

YouTube comment from Craddock:
About the Multiple ALUs:
That's pretty much the alternative to the ripple carry adders I'm using, multiple smaller adders that chunk together the carries. I might actually add that later, if I can come up with a design for a look-ahead carry that doesn't feel awkward in minecraft. First things first, though, like the rest of the CPU, for instance.
