Weekend stuff

Post by +3code »

This weekend I've been programming these two things:

The first program is a BASIC implementation of this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_man_computer

It's a useless utility, but it was fun to programm it. You can download it here:

The second program is an isometric mini-demo with CharAde, you have to guide a ball to the end of a path:

Interesting demos. I'm not sure I understand how your LMC works with respect to a Speccy. I know the purpose is to demonstrate how a computer works, but does it actually RUN the program as well as walking through the bytes?

Can you give an example of how this should run a program should work?

Yes, it RUNs the programs (I hope :roll: ). I used the first example from the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_ma ... r#Examples) to test the program, this is:

box--value
00--901
01--308
02--901
03--309
04--508
05--209
06--902
07--000

and it runs good. :D

Ah cheers. Yep it works. I thought it used z80 codes, but it uses its own numeric codes.
