Controlling Minecraft CPU's out of game

[EDevil]

I mean, assembly is nice and all that, but we really need a way to control Minecraft CPU's out of game. Since in game higher level language's will require even more contrpations and extremely inefficient.

I have no idea if we have any ways of talking to redstone out of game, i might make a new thread for it though, seems like it requires some coding and it is a topic of its own.

Voila. I'm not asking anyone to make this, this is purely an open topic for discussing.

maybe a program to turn it from files to a schematic of torch row ROM specialized for your CPU? :-P

Connect the bits of a device to command blocks, who's output will be read by a script as they appear in console, and the inverse.

That would be incredibly hard to sync possibly, but maybe actually doable... hmmm...

Here is a really simple plugin (I wrote it in under 10 minutes) that can "stream" data stored externally to in-game data/instruction busses.



It is definitely feasible.

Can the plugin also read outputs? To get RAM adresses and such.

We could try this but it would be a forge mod which normal clients can connect to so yeah with MCPC we could do this.

Getting signals from Minecraft to an external tool? Almost impossible.

Thank you Evil, for saving my lazy azz from creating a new thread :3 and well, dot, umm.. That. Looks. Awesome!

To me, typing out your whole program in the chat and say like /run is amazing and I can not believe it is something that simple! So what I say, is motivate dot and a few other coding-magicians to get this thing do assembly! And I have to say, typing in to chat is not the most convenient way, but it seems like it is the most feasible and it also removes the need of 3rd party software.

Good work dot, I love it.!

But the brilliance of this is that you don't need an external tool!
EDIT: grats on 1000 posts

Also, separately I wonder if it's possible, within the confines of Bukkit plugin development, to edit command blocks to work with this. In that sense we would be able to work with these scripts and literally control them based on redstone.

The best alternative to this is a /run command, which I might actually feel is better than the idea of using command blocks for it.

I have to agree with Wryt here though, this is brilliant to be done through chat. A simple interpreter should be easy for a smart few.

We can use signs on block for wires and say a simple line reading program with address lines code to a sign value. And same with data so we could have a full 8 bit ram as a file in the servers folders some where.

It is actually pretty easy if you use command blocks.



EDIT: You can also just read the metadata of the block to determine whether the wire is powered or not. Should have thought of that earlier...

No need to modify the client/server. We are not extending minecraft, just "abusing" it.

Thanks! Another possibility would be to offer an online API, where users can upload and compile assembly code. (like the schematics API)

[Chibill]

I am working on a java program that takes in binary and out pits schematics but shemayics are harder to use them it seems

[tnt417]

That'd Be Interesting

I think it would still be better to have a system where you could type commands through chat (or maybe command blocks, same thing). A possibility is to somehow save program data on something similar to /schems that can be loaded into a CPU at any time with say, a /program load command.

I would like to have a bukkit plugin.
Setup signs like
"[RS2IRL]" (Header)
"Key=042F" (Hex-Key to determine the user)
"Group=Test" (String to determine group)
"RX CLOCK" (Recieve on this sign, use as clock)
Whenever the Clock gets a flank-up it will flush all bits from the
other signs of the same group and send a TCP packet/chat packet to the User
A mod on the client side will catch the packet and resend it on loopback.
The user can use putty (if the cpu has the speed) or write an own IO Program

Does /testfor work outside of command blocks? It seems like it could check if a signal is on or off.
