  A Terrarria mod that reimplements the wiring system much more efficiently

A friend sent me the YouTube video, which is a fantastic watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXPiqk0-zDY.

Minecraft computers have been done for a while now, but seeing a full RISC-V computer running programs is really impressive, and frankly just seems really cool. The programs are written in Rust, and then compiled to run in game. Plus, the author needed to write their own mod to make the Terraria wiring efficient enough to support the computer: https://github.com/misprit7/WireHead

Fully compliant to RISC-V how? Is it conforming to a specific RVI profile? The project states "By emulating a complete rv32i instruction set inside the wiring system of Terraria, we push back speeds to the early 70s era, tossing the ball firmly back into the court of silicon engineer without losing any software functionality."

So this is building a RISC-V *microcontroller* but what version of the ISA? 2.2 from 2017? Is it sucessfully passing conformance tests (https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests)? I don't want to dunk on the project, but the title is over-selling and not scoping the context of the work. I look forward to some more updates from @misprit7!

Note: I'm the working group lead for distro-integration within the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE) group.
