i have so much hope for mattbatwings to make a redstone based on the 6502. most ancient hardware uses it so it would technically be making an emulator through redstone

5:26 Turing did not prove that Turing machines can compute anything. He actually proved the opposite by showing that the halting problem is undecidable by a Turing machine. But, together with Alonzo Church and Stephen Cole Kleene, he proved the equivalence of several models of computation such as Turing machines and the lambda calculus. They stated in the Church-Turing thesis that these models of computation coincide with the intuitive understanding of computability, which is something that can not be proved mathematically.

6:23, incorrect. It's "Can it run doom"

As a professional Computer Science educator and nerd, it'll be really interesting to see how someone who wasn't taught in the "Standard" way and instead learnt in a hands-on manner teaches this. So far you're pretty good!

LETS I'm so hyped for this series!!!

Almost ironically, a lot of languages nowadays share the same backend, an intermediate language called LLVM. C++ compiles down to LLVM which then is compiled to Assembly/Machine Code. And LLVM is made so that you can plugin your own architechture and it will spit out machine code from literally any language that uses LLVM. Which means you'd be able to run C++, Rust, Golang, etc in the Redstone computer.

I might give that a shot lol

Matt will prob teach us more about computer science than we could learn in years

I'm so hyped for this!!! I've been a computer programmer for a long while, but I'm really excited to be able to learn about the lower level workings of a computer. I have built of a ton of single purpose Redstone machines and I'm excited to see how to expand this knowledge into a making a programmable computer.

as a cs student, I'm extremely excited to see where this series goes, looking forward to all future episodes

Man i love computers, ive tried writing multiple emulators, and i have always wanted to make/design my own computer, but dont want to spend the money on electronics, and dont know redstone enough to make one in Minecraft, i loved your previous video about making a computer, and cant wait to see what this series will bring

[sirog]

As a CS Student, I'm ready to get a minor degree in Redstone .

[rnggamer]

Cant wait for someone to program Bad Apple on the PC

[steviousmusic]

as someone who has programmed tetris for this cpu in a day, i can confirm that some games are programmable in a day.

yay good job matt :)

It's good that you are making videos. Good luck to you Matt! I hope that you are feeling better now, sorry for your loss.

I'm working on making a 32-bit RISC with a graphics GPU. For now, I'm studying a way to create a HD using a bau while I try to understand how the device bus works. I even thought about a mod to change the strength of the redstone, since some circuits like the cancellation adder get chaotic when stacking up to 32. However, I gave up on the idea of ​​mods and opted for pure Minecraft. Anything, two players to load the world if the system gets huge.

its a great day when Mattbatwings uploads another banger

[LordBrainz]

I'm obligated to say it: hello world

Ben Eater's 8-bit breadboard series was one of my all time favorites, as well as when I first truly understood the power of youtube. I have no experience in computer science, but I came away actually understanding how a computer works, from literally the atomic level up. Great series to take inspiration from and great first video; looking forward to the rest!

The worst way to build a computer is the block-by-block tutorial, it's way easier and takes less time to just understand how it works, plus you can fix your own issues.
