This is a machine code simulator coded in Python 3 based upon the Brookshear Machine.
The Python 3 interpreter must be installed
Open a terminal and run git clone https://github.com/showalrm/sn-machine
Run the __main__ module to execute the program.
Upon execution of the program the user is prompted with the option of choosing the number of register cells and the number of memory cells they would like. The user may choose up to 16 register cells and up to 256 memory cells.
After configuration, the user may use the following keys to edit the cells.
r- edit the contents of register cellsm- edit the contents of memory cellsreturn- step through the programi- edit the instruction countere- execute the program- Any other input will quit the program
| Op-Code | Operand | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RXY | LOAD register R with the bits found in memory cell XY |
| 2 | RXY | LOAD register R with the hex value XY |
| 3 | RXY | STORE the contents found in register R in the memory cell XY |
| 4 | *RS | MOVE the bit pattern found in register R to register S |
| 5 | RST | ADD the bit patterns in registers S and T and put the result in register R in a two’s complement complement representation |
| 6 | RST | ADD the bit patterns in registers S and T and put the result in register R in a floating-point notation (NOTE Op-Code 6 does the same as 5 for now, until floating point addition is available) |
| 7 | RST | OR the bit patterns in registers S and T and put the result in register R |
| 8 | RST | AND the bit patterns in registers S and T and place the result in register R |
| 9 | RST | XOR the bit patterns in registers S and T and place the result in register R |
| A | R*X | ROTATE the bit pattern in register R one bit to the right X amount of times. Each time placing the bit that started on the low end on the high end. |
| B | RXY | JUMP to the instruction located in the memory cell at address XY if the bit pattern in register R is equal to the bit pattern in register number 0. Otherwise, continue with the normal sequence of execution. (The jump is implemented by copying XY into the program counter during the execute phase.) |
