+# LCPU Idea/Working Model Sheet
 
-	- admin controled global (affects all placed lcpus) scheduler timeslice.
-		- couldn't be faster than tickrate though or we might block source (and.. well, i dont think i have to explain)
+This is basically the working ideas for the LCPU project.
 
-	- upload a raw binary (or elf? we could probably just imitate a "boot loader" and throw it into memory and move the given register to it?) to execute
-		- or write assembly/maybe c code for tiny projects
+## Core features
 
-	- text editor for lcpu projects
+- CPU SENTs
+	- RISC-V rv32ima core
+		- Would supporting more than one CPU core type be worthwhile? If so, the project is relatively setup for such workflow...
+	- Controllable paramaters (RAM size, ...)
 
-	- some example projects?
+## Code upload/project workflow
 
-	- riscv rv32-ima cpu core
-		- llvm assembler used in this case
-		- maybe clang integration? (this might make the addon unwieldly though)
+- Upload a raw binary to execute, generated from any user tooling
+	- Yes, this means you can run Linux in GMod. No, I'm not sorry.
+	- Or even an ELF? Would require less linker hell?
 
-- wiremod interopability (to obsolete ZCPU at least for my purposes)
-	- gpio (which uses normal wire stuff)
-	- console screen
-	- gpu (if it's not painful to do so)?
+### Integrated simple project workflow
+
+- Write assembly/maybe C code using a tiny project system (data for them would go in server data folder ?)
+	- LLVM assembler is used
+		- Integrated clang for C code? (if it's not prohibitively expensive)
+		- In all cases (as/clang), the tools will all be firewalled to the given project data directory.
+			In the case of clang, an addional path will be allowed (clang freestanding headers), but that's the only exception. 
+	
+- Text editor used to edit project source files
+
+- Some example projects?
+	- I joke about it, but an RTOS would be really nice and a good stress test of the project system (for usage in "real" projects.)
+
+## Moderation/administration tools
+- Admin controlled per-user max RAM size (default 64mb)
+	- possibly override for "respectful" users and admins (admins probably wouldn't even count)?
+
+- Admin controlled per-user max LCPU entity count (default 8)
+	- admins can override/do not count?
+
+- Admin controled global (affects all placed LCPUs) scheduler timeslice.
+	- Couldn't be faster than tickrate though or we might block source (and.. well, i dont think i have to explain)
+		- I decided not to go with the cpu thread stuff just because its annoying, and would require more state tracking. just ticking in lua using `ENTITY:Think` should be more than good enough (even if theres a risk of hitching source, but I don't think it's that big of a problem...)
+		- Project compilations however will definitely end up in a different thread though. Running them in the engine thread would undoubtably cause issues.
+
+## Addon interopability
+
+- Wiremod interopability
+	- Wiremod GPIO (which uses normal wire stuff)
+	- Console Screen
+	- Wire GPU (if it's not painful to do so)?
