anyone else not have a clue what this entire thread is about?

[AgentGray]

Yes. Someone built a 16-bit logic unit in minecraft, a game that lets you build basic electrical circuits and by extension, complex computers like this. It's...kinda awesome

[WastedJoker]

*blank look* Huh?

[Nagisan]

Should have posted this in the main Minecraft thread instead of a thread of its own (despite how awesome it is).

*blank look* Huh?

Clearly you are not a true Neowinian :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

Basically, its a part of a processor built in the game Minecraft which allows you to do very basic circuitry (such as a pressure plate that, when stepped on, opens a door)

He basically is building a computer using basic circuitry in a game.

"You listening, pig?" :laugh:

Swine aside, this is impressive, even if I don't understand how it works completely.

If he did that manually (not use a map editor) ... wow.

You are not alone.

This seems not only stupid but time consuming...

[timmmay]

Great example of someone who's level of patience must exceed all of us put together!!!

[MrChainsaw]

This seems not only stupid but time consuming...

I'd like to see you make something like that, genius.

So, you don't understand it, therefore it is 'stupid'?

I've heard of bugs in the code... now it's pigs in the hardware?

He's reversing technology, instead of making computers smaller and more efficient, he's making them larger and less efficient, so large in fact that he had to replace the bugs with pigs to keep everything to scale.

[Slammers]

It is impressive, but it does seem like a massive waste of time and really makes you wonder about some people....

[c3ntury]

I should really get around to buying Minecraft, looks good.

I am astonish beyond all grammar sense.

[Johnson]

That guy has wayyyyy to much time on his hands. For reals.

[sw1tch..]

Yep seriously, just blows my mind!

What do you get from playing any computer/video game?

[Rodrigo]

Amazing!

So, you don't understand it, therefore it is 'stupid'?

You gotta understand, calling something stupid is the classic response from ignorance.

Here is the problem:

Why?

Why?

If you're that kind of person, you should probably ask that question in every thread here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/forum/247-the-hobby-corner/
