I remember someone made a working gameboy emulator work in minecraft.
No fucking way?! Seriouslu
I feel like you need to give more details about what you mean by “do”. It’s a Turing complete system, but if you mean to advance gameplay objectives, that’s a more complicated question. Especially because it’s a fairly open-ended game in the first place.
This being Lemmy, everyone is going straight to computer science.
Anything a real PC does, given infinite space and creativity. You’re just simulating binary physically.
would it not still be digitally?
digitally physical?
my head hurts…
Yes, calculating with moving parts are how the first computers/calculators worked. Nowadays, you’ll usually see them represented by relay computers, which are usually an educational experiment, or meant to be used in harsh environments where a modern computer couldn’t function properly.
Anything an 8-bit pc can do. There are technical limits to what Minecraft can handle and
People have built 16 bit and 32 bit computers in Minecraft, the tighter restraint is the limited clock speed (resulting from suboptimal simulation efficiency)
And by limited, we mean like, on the order of Hertz probably.
Lose a lot of your time.
That kind of goes without saying lmao
Crappy DIY “ASICs”
I’ve seen a scientific calculator
