Good Mine Crafting.

Eventually, technology will become so advanced that we can use Minecraft to simulate a computer to run another Minecraft.

Moore's law and the back of a napkin say 30 years. Here's hoping Flash isn't around then.

"You listening, pig?"

I want to see an Aztec city built by this person as the sun king.

I'm not nerdy enough to know if this is more or less impressive than the guy who built a turing machine in dwarf fortress.

I am nerdy enough to know what both of those things are so five self loathing stars.

So that DF one is 8-bit. Less bits :D But it has memory, and a few other things that you need for a full computer.

On a side note, it's unfortunate that the blogs are calling that a Turing machine. Technically it's right (anything that can be rightly called a computer is one), but the one Turing described was a mathematical model and purposely stripped down. That DF one has a lot more to it.

Loathe away :)

If this guy were my son, I'd probably be worried. I don't know why. I just would.

"Everything else is going to be very tedious." Understatement much?

Still: WOW.

There's just something really cool about watching someone walk around inside of a computer. Like, this is basically Reboot.

So the guy got offered a job as a developer pretty much immediately when the thing hit the internet.

With some shitty mobile gaming company in Atlanta, but still, it's something.

On the flip side, if he can program with this...imagine what he could do with a real programming language.
