/c8/ - Chip8

what is this?

>>371300007 >a game console >inside a Solana program >controlled by a coin's price Chip8 is an XO-CHIP machine: 128x64 pixels, 4 colors, 16 KB of RAM. It runs Flappy Chart. The bird flies wherever the price takes it.

who presses the buttons?

>>371300014 >nobody >the program reads the pump.fun bonding curve itself Before every step the console fills a price port at 0x1F0: how far the price moved, where it sits against its moving average, which way. The ROM reads it like any other memory. No keeper, oracle or dev chooses the input.

why does the game freeze?

>>371300021 >the market is the clock A step only runs when the reserves changed since the last one. No trades, no time. The step fails on chain otherwise, so nobody can skip time without the market.

how do I know the chain ran it right?

>>371300028 >your browser runs it too The program and this page run the same Rust engine; the page uses it compiled to WebAssembly. After each step the program stores the machine state hash and the inputs it used. Your browser re-runs the step from the previous state and compares. The badge under the screen is that check.

what does it cost?

>>371300035 >0.000005 SOL a step >no priority fees >at most one step a second Steps are paid by a keeper funded from creator fees. Anyone can send a step themselves with NUDGE. A quiet day costs close to nothing.

can the dev change the game?

>>371300042 >not after the seal The ROM is loaded, then sealed: its sha256 goes into the console account and the load instruction stops working. After a burn-in period the program itself becomes immutable too.

what happens when it graduates?

>>371300049 >the bird keeps flying When the curve completes and the coin moves to PumpSwap, anyone can switch the console to read the pool instead. Same game, deeper market.

is this financial advice?

>>371300056 >no >it is a bird
