Greetings PMC community, (and the Minecraft community in general) I give to you the documentation of my most ambitious creation yet. The title of this project pays homage to the Xbox 360 console, which uses a custom CPU designed by IBM, named Xenon. This build will be a data processing monster, capable of all standard logic functions, comparative functions, basic mathematical functions, and the algorithms that come with these abilities.

The planned specs are as follows, but may change during construction:

• 16-bit words
  
  
• ALU (16 functions)
  
  • AND
    
    
  • NAND
    
    
  • OR
    
    
  • NOR
    
    
  • XOR
    
    
  • XNOR
    
  • IMPLIES (a AND !b)
    
    
  • CON-IMPLIES (!a AND b)
    
    
  • NIMPLIES (a NAND !b)
    
    
  • CON-NIMPLIES (!a NAND b)
    
  • NOT
    
    
  • ADD
    
  • SUB (a - b)
    
    
  • SUB (b - a)
    
    
  • L. Shift
    
    
  • R. Shift
    
  
  
• 8 locations of 16-bit registers(That's 128 memory cells.)
  
  
• 16 lines of writable program memory
  
  
• 31-bit external ROM HDD
  
  
• Hacked 8-bit GPU with 4 functions (Codename: XENOS)
  
  • Draw
    
    
  • Erase
    
    
  • Fill X
    
    
  • Fill Y
    
  
  
• 8 x 8 pixel screen with 8 bytes of memory
  
  
• 5-digit Decimal display using a Binary-BCD encoder
  
  
• 8 x 8 pixel two-color printer
  

If you have any other features you would like to see in this project, I would love to see your ideas. This list is not definite, and will most likely change several times before this project is complete. As I don't have that much free time, this is a long-term project which I believe will take at least a month. I'll try to update this project every couple days or so.

Progress:----------------------------[33.33% Overall]

Phase 1 (ALU)--------------------------------------[100%]
Phase 2 (Registers)------------------------------[100%]
Phase 3 (PRAM)-------------------------------------[0%]

Additional Notes

This project is being constructed in the XBLA version of Minecraft.

No, there will not be a download.
