About

Modification of the MARS program originally written by Kenneth Vollmar and Pete Sanderson at Missouri State University.

  • DISCLAIMER: Any and all rights are reserved by the aforementioned entities. I do not own this program, nor am I involved in its development. These modifications are provided solely for the benefit of its users.

This version of MARS is specifically modified for usage in CSCI 2340 - Assembly Language Programming, offered by the University of Central Arkansas.

Requirements

  • Java SE 8 (JDK 8 / JRE 8) or later

Usage

To use the program itself, download the MARS-UCA.jar file in the top-level directory. To run it you can either:

  • Double-click the file
  • Run java -jar MARS-UCA.jar in the file's directory

Modification

This repository is structured as an IntelliJ IDEA Maven project and can be used as such. Additionally, if IDEA is not the desired environment, the attached jar file can be extracted into the original source files.
