To what degree would you say your idea was influenced by Notch's cancelled 0x10C? Not a criticism, it's actually a game I truly want to see made.

- fpgaminer 12y agoOh significantly so, but more recently because of watching the BBS Documentary by Jason Scott (highly recommend). But I don't intend to finish this project as a game; it's just a creative outlet. I've always been fascinated by the magical simplicity of the 6502 and related machines, even if they were a few years before my time. A few years ago I even implemented a logic accurate 6502 in Verilog for an FPGA devboard. Working with the 6502 is peaceful in a way; it lies in stark contrast to the towering complexity we as engineers deal with in the present computing age. I wonder what became of 0x10C after Notch dropped it. Has anyone picked it up and kept working on it? Alternatively, I know Space Engineers is similar in kind, and was quite a bit of fun to play. It just doesn't (or didn't?) have any computing component.
- roywiggins 12y agoI wrote a simple FORTH-like compiler/interpreter for a 0x10C CPU simulator. It was a really fun little project, and completely doable with my tiny amount of prior assembly experience. Very peaceful, like you say.

Perhaps the most famous is Trillek at trillek.org .Forums are dead, but IRC is pretty active at freenode #project-trillek Actually we have a full computer working with a more realistic behaviour, using TR3200 CPU (RISC like 32 bit cpu), with screen, keyboard, floppy drive, timer, RTC, beeper, hardware "random" number generator, etc. Tehre is two assemblers for it, WaveAsm and VASM. Also, SmallerC can output assembly code for it, and there is other C compiler that would have TR3200 backend (qcc , D language write C compiler). A BASIC interpreter for it would very appreciate (or FORTH or any other easy learn language) Links : Computer specs : https://github.com/trillek-team/trillek-computer https://github.com/trillek-team/trillek-computer Computer implementation library with a not very friendly emulator and a few tools (I'm working in an user friendly emulator using the lib): https://github.com/trillek-team/trillek-vcomputer-module https://github.com/trillek-team/trillek-vcomputer-module WaveAsm : https://github.com/Meisaka/WaveAsm https://github.com/Meisaka/WaveAsm VASM : http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/ http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/ SmallerC : https://github.com/alexfru/SmallerC https://github.com/alexfru/SmallerC Toolkit recopilatory (wip) : https://github.com/trillek-team/computer-toolkit https://github.com/trillek-team/computer-toolkit PD: I forgot to mention that we have a simple firmware that detect devices, prints some information, try to bootup from floppy, and have a machine code monitor that is a clone of Woz's monitor ? https://github.com/Zardoz89/trillek-firmware https://github.com/Zardoz89/trillek-firmware
