Computer Built in Minecraft Has RAM, Performs Division

[Knife-28]

Now all it needs to do is play Minecraft, and then he can create a computer inside that that can play minecraft, and a computer inside that, and a computer inside that...

 

[Halceon]

Oh please, Dwarf Fortress has a dwarven computer in it that can Add Subtract Multiple and Divide out to 8 digits. It of course runs on lava.

This, this, a myriad times this. You people want to see a computer in a game? This is a computer in a game!

It also has a punishment plate, that triggers the doomsday device whenever somebody overflows the processor.

I personally welcome Salaja as our new computing overlord.

This reminds me of a comic I read once, where there is only one man who lives as an immortal in an infinite existence. He searches through his existence and gathers up rocks, and he uses these rocks to create a massive computer, which runs a simulation that is the universe we live in.

This only gives more credence to the comic's claims!

I think you mean this comic:

Incidentally, this was actually the comic that got me interested in the physics of computers, and modern CPU architecture.

Or you could just post it. Like this:

 

[rockera]

yo dawg i heard you like computers so we put a computer in yo computer so you can compute while you DOES NOT COMPUTE.
OP:... well I built like 4 apartment buildings and a few house but this is...is... wizerdry!

 

[El_Chubba_Chubba]

Just imagine TNTing the whole thing...Mwahahahahaha

 

[farq1414]

okay does anybody think that minecraft is evolving i mean we have gone from small houses in caves to computers i mean it is evolving faster than the human race ever did what next? also

 

[LostTimeLady]

Now all that's left is to play Minecraft inside of Minecraft

That's the dream!

Seriously though, this is utterly amazing. I wonder if Notch ever realised that people would be doing this with his creation?

 

[bdcjacko]

All I have done so far is build a lava pyramid...I'm not sure how I feel about building a computer in a computer. Just seems so um...hypothetical with no real practical applications. I'm sure he had fun?

 

[legion431]

He managed to make a computer within a computer-Awesome. the fact that he used a video game to do it is legendary.

 

[MisterM2402]

So if a computer is built in Minecraft that's capable of running it's own version of Minecraft, can we expect someone to build another computer in that?

 

[Adventurer2626]

...WHAT?! Are we a game being played within a computer within Minecraft within a computer within Farmville? I don't know what's real anymore! *sobs uncontrollably* I must say this trumps ALL internet projects I've heard of to date.

 

[dsmops2003]

That is seriously impressive! Brilliant work.

 

[Tuqui]

Amazing, let's hope it doesn't get conciseness, wait a moment, isn't today 4/20/11, oh shIT!!!.....

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Wonder if he can get Doom to run on that thing...

 

[Nenad]

Wow, that's really cool. Congratulations Salaja!

 

[SnipErlite]

My reaction to all of the things like this being built can be summed up in the top comment on the youtube page:

"i built a little house and a bridge, YOU BUILT A CPU?!!??!1"

 

[the_green_dragon]

To play a game on that CPU, you would need a program. I'm not sure if you can build a program out of rocks. Or can you? Prob not

 

[Wuggy]

And thus Skynet was born.
