Who will be the first one to build a DCPU16 computer inside Minecraft?

  I'd love to see one made using discrete logic. It's a pretty simple CPU so it looks to me like you could pretty easily build it out of 74 series.

    > It's a pretty simple CPU 16-bit address and data buses? Hardware multiplier, divider, and barrel shifter? I wouldn't exactly call it simple. The cost to build one out of discrete logic probably approaches the quadruple digits. Magic-1 (http://www.homebrewcpu.com/ http://www.homebrewcpu.com/) is a 16-bit, microcoded homebrew CPU that took about 4 years to build, and it doesn't have any of the above features.

  More important: Who will be the first one to code Minecraft on a DCPU16 computer?

    And who will implement Conway's game of life on top of that? (I'm psychic: the next comment will ask who will implement a DCPU16 in Conway's game of life.)

      Who will implement a DCPU16 in Conway's game of life? Seriously though, the fact that we're able to ask questions like this is a breath of fresh air... as a market, Notch has done a hell of a job appealing to us.
