A friend sent me the YouTube video, which is a fantastic watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXPiqk0-zDY.

Minecraft computers have been done for a while now, but seeing a full RISC-V computer running programs is really impressive, and frankly just seems really cool. The programs are written in Rust, and then compiled to run in game. Plus, the author needed to write their own mod to make the Terraria wiring efficient enough to support the computer: https://github.com/misprit7/WireHead

I lost it when he dropped the containerized CI pipeline! Shows he was thinking about the whole process, not just the (literally) fiddly bits. Incredibly broad set of skills the author demonstrated.

I cannot believe he did the wiring "by hand". Loved the bug example he highlighted, which I hope is something he can reference later in life, "What's the most difficult bug you ever fixed?"

Even with the "cross-eyed" trick to overlap the left and right sides, I could not spot the error. How in the world did he find it!?
