0x10c - multiplayer space survival/exploration sim from Notch

[evil edna]

So what is this game? It's eve with bad graphics and my ship is propelled by writing computer code which I don't know?

yeah im struggling to see the appeal of this game to people who arnt programming neckbeards. the name is fucking awful too.

I hardly doubt being able to write asm (or any other language) will be a requirement to play this game, relax guys

But yeah, the name isnt exactly catching now is it

[Tajidan]

well i read it as Oxioc

[Diicc Tater]

zero-xten-c

[Redclaws]

Looks crap and prolly will be crap since Notch is a terrible programmer. He just got really really lucky he stumbled onto something people like to do and that people didn't stop playing it because it looks terrible.

zero-xten-c

it's 268, noobs

It would be if the c wasn't superscript.

[Diicc Tater]

even so, that's not how one would READ it. That's 'a' conversion innit..

another way would be hex-ten-see I guess...

Notch leaked an updated spec for DCPU in the form of an emulator. One of the changes is editable video character memory which opens up basic sprite and tile systems for graphics display.

Also announced, in the MMO one subscription will give you access to one generator. Large ships will require more than one generator so you will have to have other players help build and operate it (or multibox ).

Nothing has been clarified regarding computer restrictions.

It's 0x10^C, or 16^12 = 281,474,976,710,656 - the number of years you've been in hypersleep according to the backstory.

[evil edna]

its still a fucking dumb name

goddamn, you are a hater. i love the way minecraft looks

[filingo]

Notch posted that the game will support virtual IO for real devices like joysticks and possibly MIDI or serial so people can make control panels/interfaces.

The downside is that this makes it easier to augment the DCPU with your PC, but Notch says this was an inevitability anyway. The DCPU would have to process the the information anyway somewhat so there is still a large bottleneck on performance.

midi? so i can feed my sequencer into it and control mah spaceship as i jam?

0 x 10^c = 0, by the zero property of multiplication.

[Wrack]

0x10 is notation for the number 10 in hexadecimal, which is 16 in decimal.

Or, I probably just got trolled.

[Nu11u5]

0 x 10^c = 0, by the zero property of multiplication.

I hope you are trolling, otherwise learn 2 hexadecimal.

I read it as "oh-ex-ten-see", which is how most people tend to say hex numbers where I work.

How about a control system that plots a course based on any midi file you feed it. Then give it a midi of the "kara remembers" theme from BSG and see if it flys you to earth

[Spaztick]

Notch will burn through his millions in no time.

[Rami]

My sole purpose in this game will be to create and program the ship to assimilate other ships and grow into a superblob ship. May call it B0rg.
