Indie space game runs real Linux via built-in RISC-V emulator

Original: Show HN: Our space game has a built-in RISC-V emulator that runs Linux

Developers of the space game Against All Odds have launched it with an unusual technical feature: a built-in RISC-V emulator inside the game that is capable of running a full Linux operating system. The launch is drawing attention on Hacker News, where commenters are discussing the engineering effort behind emulating a processor in-game and what practical uses, if any, the feature has for players.

Why now: The unusual feat of running Linux inside a video game via an in-game RISC-V emulator is a technically impressive show-and-tell drawing developer interest.
