I cant even begin to comprehend this....

[Babytokie14]

This is amazing. Can't wait for DL.

[Clarkyoo]

i am pretty fuking sure that you just put a ton off redstone all over the place to make it look so interesting and complex. am i right?

[Clarkyoo]

How did you make all that i mean it just looks so confusing i could never make something that complicated How long did it take you to make? also will you be releasing a save file when you have completed it?

GOOD NEWS GUYS!
I finally started working on the compiler, this is what it looks like so far:

do you like it? I hope this works too!
now, to make it work...

Is it just me, or is that screenshot somehow out of focus?

[grandmuchacho]

Aweasome man, i can't wait more,
But, what that pc will run, games?

Eye surgery performed during nocturnal emissions by fairy optometrists often results in slightly impaired vision.

Anyways, this is a frigging genius. I remember seeing your older thread (I think it was the one about the paint gui, but I'm not sure), and I remember thinking that was great. But this will definitely top that. Good luck in getting it done

Um...for some reason, I'm not really believing this. I'm not doubting your capability, but how are you going to fit two screens, a GPU, and ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FREAKING BYTES OF MEMORY!

As awesome as these cpu's are , what do they actually do in minecraft l0l.


Ive never actually seen anybody make anything interesting out of the cpu. I think the best ive seen was a calculator...

[dudearent006]

WOW, thats a ton of replies. all hail multiquote!

It's easier to just write assembly as far as I can see.

..in what way? you simply literaly tell it what you want it to do and it creates the code in a click of a button! and as you can see, there is PLENTY of help buttons to understand what to put in.
trust me, loocking at my compiling code, it is very hard for even me to write a program for this without using this thing.

nope, most of that is functional. what isn't functional is going to be made so. in the pics I provide you will only see half-built stuff.

yep, the save will be downloadable, along with the compiler. I have been working on it 3 days before I posted it.

just you? how is that out of focus? its print screen!

very basic games, but games. and possibly applications.

[and all other related post about how epic this is]

thanks! I seem to be getting some very positive comments about this thing!

well, they are mostly proof-of concept, advertisement on what is possible in MC, tech development, learning how computers work, adf.ly money, being able to watch a massive computer preform cool functions, being able to make a full computer that does exactly what you want it to do, go back to the days of the comocorde things, popularity, digital diamond, personal goals................ this is a seriously long list.

in other news: GPU all wired up(I had to make underground passages to the other side of the computer, doging many more already there) and this thing is looking epicly huge. finalising the protocall and adding the program counter, with some simple tests for...well...testing...

also, im going to need some testers later on, to see if this thing is working fully.or to overclock it for fun(don't report bugs when you do that though, since it is almost guaranteed to break something). I will need someone with lots of redstone experience, as in, having built a CPU or better, so they can tell me what's wrong with it and not "the watchama-callit is not thingy-ing whit the do-hickey" or "its not working".

[Viktn0r]

This. Is. Awesome.

quick question: when using Java's built in int to binary converter, how do you add missing 0s to the beginning? can someone give me some code?

[sonicxs2]

this is all going WAY over my head, but can i have some questions awnswered?:

will this computer will use redstone torches for the screen? or will it be a GUI? (or UI, or whatever)

Will it be a mod or will it work on vanilla minecraft? i ask this because you posted some pictures that looked like you where modding java

and, will it have color? or just black and white (or red if using torches)

I'm not a great Java programmer (yet), but I'm currently programming in C++ but this (will probably) work. You could always check the length of two strings and add amount of 0s in the beginning of the string. Like this:

Let's say string A = "010". A's length is 3 characters.
String B = "0101". B's length is 4 characters.

By adding "0" before A it will print out "0" and the content of A which is "010" so what the user will see is "0010".

Hope you understand my poor English, I'm a Swede

Edit: Here's a code (I recently made just for you. )

public class HelloWorld {	
	static String a = "010";
	static String b = "0110";
	static String Final = "";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	if (b.length() > a.length()) {
    		for (int addZero = 0; addZero < b.length() - a.length(); addZero++) {
    			Final += "0"; // The string namned Final contains the amount of 0s to add before the variable b
    		}
    		System.out.println("Content of A: " + Final + a);
    		System.out.println("Content of B: " + B);
    		
    	}
    }
}

1.piston screens, 1 with numbers and 1 GPU
2.vanilla, it did? i was coding a java compiler, but that is optional and does not have enything to do with MC.
3. no, black n white.

I know how to do that, I just need to know those string functions!

A minecraft pc? O.O OMG Fantastic i must try this
A information: how much time you have spend for construct this? O.O

[dudearent006]

i just thought of something:
i am programming a program, that programs programs
on a computer, for a computer, in a computer!

Skynet.. in minecraft.. I'm just saying

[dudearent006]

the control system is finished! the hole system can now be controlled from 10 wires and a confirm button!
now, for the program handler!

can a redstone pc be faster than the pc you're using to play minecraft?

If so, then people could download your world, and play minecraft in minecraft for less lagg! I'm a genius.
