Notch's 0x10c[1] is going to be a space exploration/trading game set in the distant future; players will customize and operate their own spaceships. One of its unique features is that the spaceships will be controlled by actual programmable computers; players will be able to write their own software and execute it within the game. DCPU-16 is the architecture for the in-game computers, and lots of people have jumped into developing software and tools for it.

It's pretty amazing how much stuff that the community has generated so rapidly. Lots of emulators, IDEs, compilers, code repositories, original software, ports of classic games, etc., have all reached a surprising level of maturity in only about a month.
