Space game ships with RISC-V emulator running Linux

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

An indie space game includes a built-in RISC-V emulator capable of booting Linux inside the game, according to a new blog post from the developers. The technical achievement is drawing attention from programmers and gamers, who are discussing what it means for in-game computing and the unusual engineering effort behind it.

Why now: Running a full Linux system inside a game via a custom RISC-V emulator is a striking technical feat that appeals to developers and gaming communities.
