Emulating Thousands of RISC-V CPUs for Robot Combat Arena - Kartoffels

Explore the development journey of an MMO robot combat arena in this 47-minute conference talk that demonstrates how to code and battle robots using Rust and RISC-V firmware. Learn about the technical challenges encountered, successful implementation strategies, and the reasoning behind choosing RISC-V over WebAssembly for this open-source project. Gain insights into the architecture of a real-time combat system that enables programmers to create their own fighting robots, with detailed explanations suitable for audiences of all technical backgrounds. Discover the inner workings of CPU emulation at scale, complete with access to the project's source code and live implementation. Follow along as senior Rust engineer Patryk Wychowaniec breaks down complex concepts into digestible segments, making microcontroller and RISC-V concepts accessible to everyone.
