<xentrac>01:19 < Xav101> I don't know if any of you guys have played factorio
<xentrac>01:19 < Xav101> but I ended up building what seems like a functional RISC-V CPU in it with the in-game logic
<xentrac> system
<oriansj>well that is a little extreme
<Hagfish>incredible
<Hagfish>are there higher level languages which compile to factorio layouts?
<Hagfish>or at least let you input programs for this CPU
<xentrac>he's trying to get it to run some C compiler output now, but he's having some trouble with building enough RAM
<xentrac>as one does
<Hagfish>if it's a problem of scale, it would probably be excusable to use a mod for factorio which makes one type of structure behave like a complex of such structures
<Hagfish>(i don't know what the modding community for factorio is like)
<xentrac>yeah, dunno
<oriansj>xentrac: well he would only need a few KB if he used a compiler like M2-Planet
<xentrac>I'll mention that to him if I see him again
<xentrac>or her
<xentrac>or them
<oriansj>only a few hundred bytes if they are willing write in assembly for their example program.
<xentrac>I think that's what he's doing so far, yeah
<xentrac>/she/they
<oriansj>xentrac: using names does not require gender identity
<oriansj>and if Xav101 doesn't like people using their name when they are talked about. Well my political correctness ends after basic human dignity and respect.
<xentrac>I just keep forgetting
<oriansj>xentrac: too much stress lately?
<oriansj>play PhdtdUljThU
<oriansj>sorry wrong window
<fossy>PR has dropped
<fossy>stikonas[m]: if you could take a look at it whenever you have time that would be great. no rush at all though, i still have some small issues like pylint to fix
<stikonas[m]>fossy: give me 2 weeks or so to review
<fossy>stikonas[m]: sure
