KL27

The KL27 is a 16-bit virtual CPU. It reads in K27 compiled assembly files to run programs.

Implementation

This repository contains the reference implementation of the K27 compiler and VM.

Compiler

The compiler (really an assembler) is written in Python 3.6.
Usage:

usage: compiler.py [-h] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE] [--entry-point ENTRY_POINT]
                   [--no-automatic-main]

KL27 basic compiler

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INFILE, --infile INFILE
                        The input file to parse.
  -o OUTFILE, --outfile OUTFILE
                        The output file to produce.
  --entry-point ENTRY_POINT
                        The entry point to use
  --no-automatic-main

VM

The virtual machine used to execute code is written in Kotlin 1.1.0, on top of the Java 8 JVM.
This VM uses libgdx to display the fake screen.

To run the VM, use ./gradlew desktop:run. The path is currently hardcoded in, TODO: fix this.
