Creating a computer in Warcraft 3 - possible?

[ihatewc3]

I hate Warcraft 3. Spent money on it and it's just annoying and boring (much rather play Empire Earth or Age of Mythology).

But i really loved the Lua support on it and was thinking about the endless possibilities, one of which would be creating a simple CPU inside a Warcraft 3 map.
I think it's theoretically possible via Lua. The idea would be to create a simple CPU just like people do in other games like Minecraft,Terraria and even Excel.

What do you guys think?
I'm currently reading this book:

Amazon.com

It gives a very simple model of CPU and it's very beginner friendly. Even more fun would be eventually creating buildings that works like Logical Gates inside the Game.
I don't know if it's useful, but would interesting and fun (if possible).

yep it is definitely possible, and probably easier to do in wc3 than other games which don't support scripting as easily. You could even render out pixels too (e.g. someone even rendered the entire Bad Apple sequence in wc3: 【東方】Bad Apple!!【影絵】初版 - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com)

but I think the fact that you made a profile named ihatewc3, posted on a fan-site for Warcraft 3, and that you made sure to mention that you hated wc3 in your post--isn't really gonna help your case here. the audacity, bro. you should just ask chat gippity.

If you're going to use Lua for it, you're not really making a CPU in Warcraft. You're making a CPU in Lua. Which is a pretty straightforward thing to do in any modern turing-complete language.

You could probably make it run doom using ubersplats or units for "rendering" though or some shit. That'd be fun.
