A Verilog to Factorio Compiler and Simulator (Working RISC-V CPU)
- skyberrys 7mo agoWhat a wild idea, but it makes sense! I haven't taken the time to get it working. I've heard a lot about Factorio, but I stayed away from it so far.
- ddlsmurf 7mo agoWell don't if you value sleep and free time. Whilst slightly in jest, sincerely, it is incredibly addictive.
- brailsafe 7mo agoFactorio is a great game that's easy to compartmentalize and allocate small, discrete periods of time to, especially if you're an engineer of any kind.
- BiteCode_dev 7mo agoSure, in the same way you can easily limit yourself to one cigarette a day.
- 9dev 7mo agoCrack is the best thing you ever can try, my friend, trust me! It’s not addictive at all.

- wbl 7mo agoThe first time I played it I got a little sleepy and went to bed. It was 3 am.
- deterministic 7mo agoI am an avid gamer. However Factorio is the only game I have been playing for years. It is truly unique.
- jw1294 7mo agoTruly excellent.
- ur-whale 7mo agoAmazing work, and a fantastic idea, congratulations to the author. I am definitely trying this next week-end!
- tomekowal 7mo agoCan it run Doom?
- plasticchris 7mo agoMaybe if you can get it to zoom out far enough and wire up an array of lights on the surface of Nauvis…
- ogghostjelly 7mo agoI tried on my 1366x768 display fully zoomed out and it doesn't cover enough space for DOOM's 320x200 display if each pixel is one tile. But maybe you could get the display working on the map? Not sure if that's even possible, are there any Factorio tiles that can change their map color on demand? Or just download some kind of utlra-zoom mod, that works too.

- buildbot 7mo agoVerilog to X compilers always bring me such joy. (There are several ones for Minecraft) I wonder with the new Timberborn 1.0 update with automation if there’s enough to build a computer from water gates…

- peaboff 7mo agohey, I made this! Thanks for showing it here!
- konovalov-nk 7mo ago... Curtain rises. A technical interview at a company that uses Verilog. Near future. A candidate walks in. Big Factorio fan. The interviewer smiles and gestures toward a gaming PC. Factorio is already running. The candidate squints. "What, are we gonna speedrun science in 40 minutes?" The interviewer grins. "That would be too easy for you." "Oh, I get it. No-belts challenge? Deathworld, no weapons? Rampant? Space Age blindfolded?" "It's a debugging session," says the interviewer. "You know. The thing you'll actually be doing on the job." "Got it. So what are we debugging? Train signals? Belt congestion? Fluid throughput? Nuclear ratios?" The interviewer turns the monitor slightly. "Here is a Hello World program in Verilog." A beat. "It has been transpiled into a Factorio map." The candidate leans closer to the screen. Eyes agitated. The interviewer smiles. "You just need to find a few problems with it." ... Curtain falls.
- skyberrys 7mo agoAnd the candidate never leaves, unable to stop playing.
