Inspiration
We wanted to build a computer, and minecraft is a great place to do that. It is a really interesting tool for learning about electronics in a unique way.
What it does
It has a very limited instruction set and can add two numbers, load values from memory, and jump to a hard coded address. This gives us enough tools to compute the fibonacci sequence and display it on a binary display.
How I built it
We placed all the blocks in the world ourselves and used some outside resources for learning about logic gates and optimized circuits.
Challenges I ran into
We had to debug a ton of issues which is not close at all to debugging software.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The fact that it actually works is really amazing. We definitely learned a lot in the development of this project.
What I learned
We all learned a lot about computer architecture and actually designing computers in hardware.
