There was a man who feared not the reaper
He dug in the earth ever deeper
Diamonds of his
Were lost, with a hiss
There is a man who now fears the creeper
7-section. Its been done. I know who to talk to about it if you need help to :tongue.gif:

Lol, this is way bigger than first computer ever :3
In before we see pong like this! (Assuming Obsidian is a redstone torch turned off)
Not any time soon unfortunately, redstone is way too slow. If it were built with redstone as it is, it'd take the ball minutes to go from one side to the other. I'm hoping that it'll be possible in the future though, minecraft pong WOULD be awesome. :biggrin.gif:
Wow, this is really amazing. Redstone sure can do a lot when someone puts their mind to it. Pong may be out, but do you think it could handle something a little slower paced, like checkers perhaps? Being massively slow wouldn't matter as much for a turn based game. Although checkers might be more complex to program.
I...This...Amazing. I always dreamed that a true, honest to God computer would be made, but I always thought that the necessary components to create a full computer would require a size larger than a chunk, therefore impossible except in a server, which would require a redstone patch.

I wonder if remote-controlled Notches will go on sale after christmas...
For some guy with nothing but stone and lines of sand with no training (That I know of) I'd say it's good that he got a basic circuit going, let alone a whole bloody computer. Mind you, the red stuff hasn't been around as long as humans have had copper, silicon and a wee bit of gold n' carbon.

i was both being sarcastic, impressed, and making a joke. dont whine over it.

Give me an internet, or Chuck Norris will kill you!!!

If it had a screen and keyboard, then I think that checkers could be made. It wouldn't be able to enforce the rules, but it would be able to move pieces as commanded.

Does the CPU use Harvard architecture?
If so how big the program memory?
Von Neumann architecture. At the moment it has a total memory of 8 bytes, adding more is just a matter of taking the time to do it.
I wonder... (It is late at night, I should be in bed, I speculate about odd things...)
There is a limit of "activity" in MC to within 30 chunks of the player, if this were run on an SMP server and populated with trusted friends (or can one person run multiple clients?) standing at appropriate locations, could a larger installation be kept "running"?
If one of these (RL) client machines were running some sort of program such that a player could stand at a specific spot with 8 redstone torches visible and "watch" the torches to act as a data bus from the MC computer to the RL computer...?
If you could program pong into a redstone computer, it would probably be slow enough that you could run back and forth and play both sides.
If you could do the MC to RL bus above, could you write a bot that would hit the appropriate buttons for a RL to MC data bus?
Yeah, I need sleep.

If at first you don't succeed, repair the creeper damage and try again.

I suppose so. It would be real pain to build though, since you'd need people around to test everything. I hear that redstone is almost 100% working in SMP now.

Yes, you could get them to interface like this. I suppose that minecraft could be modded to allow the RL computer to read the output from the MC computer.

Sounds possible. I haven't made bots for games before, but this looks like something easy to implement.
Fantastic work!

And... So... Tiny...
I love you!
EPIC!

Human you = new Human;
