dcpu-specifications

About ten years ago, Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft, was working on a game called 0x10c which was going to be a sci-fi spaceship game where the various functions of the ship were controlled by 1980s-era computers, leaving the programming parts to the player to build. There was a community that spung up that wrote code, device drivers, etc. An interesting idea that died on the vine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0x10c https://github.com/lucaspiller/dcpu-specifications

It reminds me of DCPU-16 that was supposed to be a part of the cancelled 0x10c game[0]. The specs[1] of the cpu and other hardware where published and the community created emulators, tools and programs around it [2][3]. Even custom, virtual hardware. It wasn't clear what the DCPU-16 was going to be used for. But the community assumed it will handle navigation, communication, weaponary and internal spaceship systems.
