Nand2Tetris

Hardware

From project 1 to project 5, this courses teaches as how to build a CPU from a Nand chip

Software

Using ANSI C without any dependencies to implement all the software part so as to practice my skills in C The software part includes Assembler, VMTranslator, JackAnalyzer, and JackCompiler. The hash table I used in JackCompiler is learned from the C bible, K&R.

Go further (Not necessarily in this project, might seperate to the new one)

• http://www.marksmath.com/tecs/
• Make use of Multithreading on Assembler
• Optimize the Assembly code generated by the VMTranslator
• Improve the Jack Language
  • Public attributes
  • Inheretance and polymorphism
  • More robust type system
  • No need of Let and Do to call the subroutineCall
  • Generate Assembly code on the fly instead of generating the VM code
