Re: Wired blog article about Minecraft
Eh, I saw this a long time ago. I wish we saw more things like this in WireWorld and the like; it'd be much simpler, aside from synchronization. I recently ordered the book from which the guy took the ALU design from; it's back-ordered, but you may see something like this from me within a few months.tod222 wrote:On Gadget Lab, one of the Wired blogs:

Re: Wired blog article about Minecraft
You know, I've been thinking for a while, and don't you think that the redstone in Minecraft could count as a kind of 3D CA?
with wire and torches and blocks alone, it would probably be a ball-park range of a 18 state CA.

It technically does count, but it becomes more usable when condensed to something like wireworld but with a state for a not gate, as a 2D CA.Batmanifestdestiny wrote:You know, I've been thinking for a while, and don't you think that the redstone in Minecraft could count as a kind of 3D CA?

Slightly more relevant: Conway's Game of Life simulated in Minecraft

Wow! I don't even want to think of whether or not he mined that by himself.Nathaniel wrote:Slightly more relevant: Conway's Game of Life simulated in Minecraft
True, but you forgot the 15-cell limit to how far a charge can go.Axaj wrote:It technically does count, but it becomes more usable when condensed to something like wireworld but with a state for a not gate, as a 2D CA.Batmanifestdestiny wrote:You know, I've been thinking for a while, and don't you think that the redstone in Minecraft could count as a kind of 3D CA?

I've been working on a binary adder with decimal output. I'll probably post it here when it's done.
