I Made a 32-bit Computer Inside Terraria

I document my journey implementing Computerraria: a 32 bit CPU running inside the game Terraria. I've been working on this for over 6 months now and thought it's cool enough that other's might be interested in learning about it. Absolutely everything I talk about here is completely open source and freely available in these public repositories:
Computerraria (World file and support software): github.com/misprit7/computerr...
WireHead (Accelerator mod): github.com/misprit7/WireHead
To download the mod to try it, here is the steam workshop link, although for any development I'd recommend using the Github link instead:
WireHead: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
If you're interested in learning more about the more technical engineering side of things, definitely let me know in the comments. I would be happy to go into it but I'm not really sure there's an audience for it.
Big thanks to Gus for implementing the raycaster engine, still can't believe that works so well. Eric, Renu and Evan also deserve credit for listening to me ramble for countless hours about various different wiring schemes and optimizations.
Terraria inside Terraria is close!

@@anonymous_246 Oh, the binary contents of memory at that timestamp represent the ASCII text, "HELP". I figure this is just a variation on the famous fortune cookie note that says, "Help! I’m being held prisoner in a fortune cookie factory!" Any time you see binary in 8-bit blocks (in this case formatted with the 0b prefixes some programming languages use to differentiate binary from decimal) where the first two bits of every octet are almost always 01, you can guess that it's ASCII. There are multiple online decoders if you don't know how to do it in your head.

In my long years of experience in the field I have learned the hard lesson that just because someone did an amazing passion project doesn't mean they'll be a good engineer. There are motivation issues, and they tend to be mavericks and lone wolves. And they just suck in general. Guys who pour all their heart and soul into a terraria computer can barely bring themselves to open an industry standard circuit design tool and actually do work that someone else has assigned them. This is because they're all motivation and passion and no discipline and focus. If they ever get around to finally producing anything at all they produce shoddy, sub-standard, piss-poor implementations because they learned on the fly and did not persue classical training, on top of being unmotivated and just trying to do the minimum of work. In nearly every case, my more level-headed, dedicated, classically trained engineers have to fix everything before the product could ship. Often that fixing process takes longer than if my real engineers had just ran the project right in the first place. So no, I will not be hiring this kid or anyone like him. They can stay in youtube land while the real engineers with dedication, discipline, heart, and real world training do the actual work.

The optimization he did is very basic: he just introduced a cache to store wiring sources and targets. While the whole thing is very impressive (including the fact that he created his own mod), it would not make sense for any developer to hire the guy just because of this very trivial optimization alone. Also, it is likely that this wasn't done in the original game because it just wasn't needed: the original game was not necessarily designed for very long and many wiring connections in the first place, because that wasn't the whole point of the game, it was just a minor aspect of it all things considered. Optimizations are usually done after measurements show that a given area is a problem/ bottleneck, and in this case it really isn't for "normal" play.

This is absolutely crazy. I've done a redstone circuit to control a 7-segment redstone torch display in Minecraft back in the day and that already felt like quite the chore... Your deep dive into the Terraria wiring system by reimplementing it in your own mod blew me away. I was wondering though: if you had known about those performance limitations beforehand - could you have used a "wireless" mod instead? I think I've seen at least one of those a long time ago already. Seems like those would purely work on connecting point A to B without having to do all the path finding that the default Terraria implementation does. I would almost assume that the available wireless mods might have some other limitations on how many of those connections you could keep up. Your implementation is probably still more performant after all though - mad respect! Awesome job!

@built-from-scratch 3 ай бұрын

I could have, but the whole point of the project was to make it using Terraria's wiring system. Mods like wireless change the mechanics of how wiring works which is kinda "cheating." My accelerator mod keeps the logic system identical, just faster

That's an impressive feat! Back when I used to play Terraria I built a world spanning teleporter system. Each teleporter "pad" took me to a receiver pad in a particular farming area. I can't stress it enough it took so much trial and error to get it to work. It didn't require as much wiring as a project like this but even then it would lag the game pretty bad when loading up the map. The few friends that also played Terraria had their minds blown when I showed them my 6 month long project. lol
