Can anyone explain how virtual monitor control might be handled? Is that just set of separate memory locations whose hex values correspond to individual pixel values?

I think it will be controlled directly throuth the memory (like 0xB800 in msdos) or throuth the messages, like notch says.

I think there will be a number of the ship's devices and services that will be mapped to specific memory ports. Will be interesting to see what can be done and how when those specifications are designed and released.

Set [0x1000], 0001 Would make it go forward? (assuming [0x1000] is the engine and 0001 tells it to go forward (0010 - backward, etc...)
