Post subject: | A computer in Conway's Life runs Tetris |
. You might have seen a computer built in WireWorld rules. You might know that Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete and you might have seen a Turing machine in Life. A very clever and industrious coalition has built a general purpose computer in Life, and programmed it to play Tetris. Amazing. Detailed write up is here. Some vital statistics: - Computer fits inside 3 million by 11 million box. - CPU is a 16 bit RISC, Harvard architecture (separate program and data spaces) - Tetris program is 300 lines of a new high level language called Cogol - Assembly derived from output of the compiler is code-golfed down to 300 lines - CPU is implemented using logic gate tiles implemented in a wireworld style of cellular automaton - the wireworld level is implemented using the Life-in-Life metapixel each about 20k x 20k in size The write-up signs off with Quote: We are discussing the next program that we want to write for the QFT computer. Right now, Pong looks like a nice goal. Looks like they are also, right now, building a better more high level language to replace Cogol. Perhaps worth keeping an eye on their repos: https://github.com/QuestForTetris |

Found a Game Of Life CPU implementation that computes a fibbonaci series, outputs on 7 segment displays within the game. https://nicholas.carlini.com/writing/2022/multiplexing-circuits-game-of-life.html |
