A fan of Factorio, a popular real-time strategy PC simulation, has transformed the game into a working video player. DaveMcW. As Kotaku's contributor Luke Plunkett explains,DaveMcW built a system where a complex of buildings work to handle memory, decoding and display. With ten of those complexes put together, they could be fed video code, and output a watchable low-res version of the clip.How lo-res is it? "It has a 178x100 display, and 34MB of memory. In theory it could run at 60 FPS, in practice it runs at 1 FPS in Factorio 0.14." (DaveMcW).Genius.LINK: DaveMcW (via Kotaku)
