AVR in Minecraft! - tokumei - 05-10-2017
This post is partly to gauge interest, but also an announcement.
As my Nublet CPU project comes to a close, I've decided that I want to work on implementing a real architecture in Minecraft. I've narrowed it down to two choices: PIC and AVR. As of now I am leaning toward AVR because there are some really cool tools available like avr-gcc that PIC doesn't readily have, and it sounds like PIC assembly is hell.

(Except its not even that efficient, cause you have to more the knife into the working register first (movlw KNIFE), and then you can stab yourself (movwf FACE).)
EDIT: I now prefer AVR.

Yes!
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - optimo - 05-11-2017
AVR that sounds really interesting. please let me know where I can follow your progress
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - tokumei - 05-11-2017
this thread. might also make a series of posts on my blog ( https://nonemu.ninja ) since that is almost dead

I prefer PIC for MC.
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - GISED_Link - 05-12-2017
Arm Cortex M0 ?
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - tokumei - 05-14-2017
Any reason, embi?
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - LambdaPI - 05-15-2017
My god that is a long instruction set.
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - LambdaPI - 05-15-2017
Do you know of the specs you are going for?
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - tokumei - 05-16-2017
I am looking at the smallest line of AVR processors out there, something along the lines of an ATtiny. No more than 2KB program memory (ISP flash) and 512B of RAM. So some caching is definitely going to be involved in this project.
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - LambdaPI - 05-17-2017
ATtiny has serial inputs and outputs iirc. Are you going to keep those?

May I suggest http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/Atmel-8127-AVR-8-bit-Microcontroller-ATtiny4-ATtiny5-ATtiny9-ATtiny10_Datasheet.pdf
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - LambdaPI - 05-17-2017
So analog not serial

Yes that's the line I was hoping to see done too. I think there might've been some projects posted to the web that got similar specs, or is that unlikely?
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - greatgamer34 - 05-24-2017
Thanks for the AVR resources!

Yes, I am looking at something at about the same scale as an ATtiny. No more than 1-2KB of ROM and RAM.;

Yep!
RE: AVR in Minecraft! - LambdaPI - 05-30-2017
Noice
I've never actually built anything serial, so if you make this, i would love to see
