Hamachi is a virtual private network application that lets us securely extend LAN-like networks to distributed PCs from different public networks. This way we can play LAN games with our friends without having to be in the same local network (aka the same house).

It is a useful tool for a Minecraft Server, that we can use in order to allow people in our Hamachi network to connect to our LAN server via a Hamachi connection. This saves us the trouble of port-forwarding in our router and giving our public IP.

In this post, we will see how can install our own Minecraft server on our Ubuntu (or any Debian based) system.

By installing our own Minecraft server, and exposing it to the outside world, we can play with our friends online in a Survival or a Creative world.

We also have full control off the game, and a lot of customization and modding abilities.

This is an emulator (interpreter more accurately) for the CHIP-8, an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker and used on 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s.

Example: Pong on the CHIP-8 emulator

It was implemented as a side project to understand better a systems architecture, by implementing every assembly instruction in code. Chip-8 is a very simple 8-bit microcomputer, with a small but complete set of instructions (only 35 opcodes).
