Oooh look at those tileable Puzzle-Like Memory Cell !!!

what game is this?

Minecraft

@LotsOfCaffeine Logic World, i got it on Steam, and it's multiplayer, i'm in

@jonas-w nu-uh been there done that, not doing it again. too limiting, too complicated

@wowotek I found the limitations of Minecraft fun, though I never actually built a complete device in it. The closest I got was a programmable 64x64x8 signal router, the plan was to put a bunch of primitives on a single massive router and write programs that consist of switching configurations to produce high bandwidth logic circuits for signal processing that would not be limited by the high switching delay inherent to redstone.

Could a game like this be used to build theoretical devices? Like a way to determine new geometries for layouts? I wonder what kind of simulation tools Intel and AMD use.

@lorentz i built programmable 8-bit computer. and i know it was really fun. but i'm just tired, and its too complicated for me. i like to experiment a lot which need to invest a lot of time. but minecraft, its too much time

@Demolishun This is actually way too low level for modern chip development. Everything is abstracted in a higher level HDL and only later lowered to individual gates for your specific semiconductor node once your ready for final testing and production

@12bitfloat i think about this a lot, how far we've gone from valve computer which no one know wtf its doing, to smartphone. also applies to the hardware-side development, from basic Relay to valve to transistor then to logic gates to modules then HDL. i don't know what kind of abstraction will come next 20 years. probably what we thought as everyday computer or even supercomputer will be a Node in quantum computer era.
