Collaborate Disseminate
There’s still time to enter Octojam 10, a competition to write a new program for a rather old (and virtual) machine: the CHIP-8. This interpreted language on a virtual machine …read more Continue reading Retro Computing Coding Competition Still Open
Often, reprogramming a microcontroller involves placing it in reset, flashing the code, and letting it fire back up. It usually involves shutting the chip down entirely. However, [bor0] has built …read more Continue reading ESP32 Virtual Machine Lets You Change Programs On The Fly
Here at Hackaday we love projects that are so well-documented that you can spend days reading up on what the designer has achieved. [John Lonergan] didn’t disappoint when he designed …read more Continue reading SPAM-1 is a Well-Documented Discrete CPU With an Impressive Software Library
Certain old computers — most frequently those using the RCA 1802 — were fond of using an early form of byte-code interpreter for programs, especially games. The interpreter, CHIP-8, was very simple to create but offered high-level features that were tedious to recreate in the native assembly language. Because there …read more
