0x10^c / dcpu16

append delete Kroc

Hello all. Have you heard about / been following news of Notch’s new game, 0x10c? http://0x10c.com

In short, it’s a space sim game with the unique aspect that your spaceship’s computer is a fully programmable 16-bit computer that the game emulates. Notch is currently developing specs at the moment, the most recent releases are here: (nerdy ASM stuff follows)

The DCPU16 itself: http://dcpu.com/highnerd/dcpu16_1_3.txt

The monitor hardware: http://dcpu.com/highnerd/lem1802.txt

As well as a single player mode, Notch plans to provide an MMO mode called the 'multiverse', where your ship's computer is being constantly emulated by the server, even when you're offline.

Very interesting idea, if anyone could get the cult following needed to reach critical mass it would be Notch.

I'm looking forward to tinkering with the game and the tool suite.

Speaking of tools, I'm thinking of defining a simple language and writing a small front-end compiler for dcpu. The language would be very specialized for the game and not a C-like derivative.

I just finished a Java like compiler front end for my class and I'm itching to try something different.
