Openpandora Minecraft Map+Video running on real Pandora


Now you have to make the SoC. Here a hint :

That's possible???


How crazy is this?
Yes, for a long time. You can build a transistor, you can build a computer.
It's just incredibly slow, of course.
I never played Minecraft, so I didn't know.

I assume you have unlimited space, right.

So in theory (if you would build for years) is a Pandora processor possible to build?

It's Minecraft, so basicly everything is possible there, especialy with mods and command-blocks. ;) The Minecraft World can be up the 8x size of the Earth surface, actualy enough for an Micro...or "Macro Processor", in theory of course. I don't know how far the Redstone signals can be transfered through World-chunks or unloaded chunks at all. I would recommend an beefy PC or Workstation or even Serverfarm for this experiment. ;)

I'm not sure about the theoretical limitations of Minecraft, but probably under one incorrect assumption, yes: you would need the 'source code' of the processor.
 
hey now work Minecraft realy on the Pandora ;)


Maybe i can run now realy the Pandora Minecraft Map inside the Pandora ;)


That would be an Epic Moment :lol: :lol:

an Emulator in an Emulator?


NP i runned Zsnes via DRDos on Qemu into our Pandora

Show us some games running on it.  I know it has one of the platinum cases, but any problems with cracks so far?

Pretty cool.

redstone circuits are limited to the amount of loaded chunks for the player. With multiple players on a server it sounds as if that could potentially increase the distance, but I think the server be it single player or multi-player only loads and processes the contents of the chunks around the players within the world.

Chunks are 16 blocks wide, 16 blocks long, and 256 blocks deep. Based off the way wheat only grows within 7 chunks of the player's current position, I think that's the maximum of how big your circuit can realistically be.

I don't see where it says it but I think they are referring to a world chunk when talking about redstone circuits, but it may be a render chunk with is 16x16x16 (7 chunks = 28,672 blocks?) rather than 16x16x256 (7 chunks = 458,752 blocks?) 

EDIT: 7 chunks in one direction... so that would potentially be 7 in each direction or 14^2 = 196 chunks... I'm guessing.. so.. (16x16x256x196= 12,845,056 blocks?) or (16x16x16x196= 802,816 blocks as a conservative based off render distance)

EDIT2:

UGH, not redoing the math, but a functional test rather than a theory here. Estimates are close enough.
