I think the word you mean to use is mimetic. Sorry for being pedantic.Earnest Cavalli said:Admittedly, the chance for amusing, memetic repetition is the main draw for this story
That's exactly what I thought.McGuinty1 said:Nobody else noticed that the video title is misleading? He actually created a computer within Minecraft that plays Terraria.
Yeah but knowing the basics of how a computer is structure and put together in abstract makes you perfect for working with Assembly and integrated circuits. Different techniques to make the item but the same theory. Replace redstone with wire and pixels and add some electrical work and he could have made a handheld game from scratch. It's not practical in itself but if that knowledge was applies to the actual field I'm sure those skills could be useful. (Even if we use high level stuff in electronics today somebody still has design the circuits).Snooder said:Honestly? Not much probably given that most of what is being done with redstone is retreading the basic techniques that people learned 50 (or more) years ago. I mean, it's amazing work, but as far as practical application, about as useful as a guy who specializes in hand-made swordsmithery is to modern metallurgy.Twilight_guy said:I can't help but feel as if someone just discovered 30 year old computers and suddenly felt inputting machine language by hand is fun. Weird.
That's interesting but as always I am left wonder what would happen if you took that energy and put it into a programming/creation techniques that is "useful" in the real world as opposed to just to Minecraft players. (Oh yeah and technically since Minecraft is running in Java on a JVM onto of your OS, this seems silly to me).

programming is amazing. this is down right witchcraft. he made a GAME using nothing but redstone wires! thats like designing an analog computer out of pebblesProverbial Jon said:Yo Dawg, I heard you like MInecraft, so we put your Minecraft in your Minecraft so you can mine while you mine.
But seriously, the things some people can do in terms of programming is amazing, especially when it gets down to this sort of level. However my brain is hurting trying to comprehend it all :S
