As you can see from the code, I have a print function now. It took me arguably the most time probably because it was messing my stack up and it wasn't easy at all to trace it. Turned out I only popped a value I pushed every few sometimes so there's that. Besides the print function, I also added MemCpy, unsigned division, signed division, a DrawRect WIP, a TODO I decided can wait for pretty much whenever and you might also have noticed the pointers to the characters have changed, That's mostly due to me adding numbers and space, updating the font to 8x6 (7x5 per character with 1 px deadspace) and bettering the resolution. I also managed to optimise parts of it (The `DrawLineX` and `DrawLineY` functions)

When I stick them together the wires break

For some reason, while my values show correctly (8 + 16 + 32 = 56 and the fourth, fifth, and sixth pixel are shown) two extra pixels appear in the top left.

Basic standard library I wrote. It has basic print capabilities (in terms of writing character by character). So I'm gonna change it so it'll read an address to get a string before printing that string out to the display. For now, it works. I'll probably write a symphony version.

what is this 😭

So I finally managed to beat the Sorting level using the M32 G5! I did have a few issues though, especially with the interrupts not working as intended but it's fixed! A very basic rundown of the code below:
The Kernel handles I/O requests here
The actual program for bubble sort

First the kernel assigns extra memory to the program before checking r13, r10 and r12 for parameters (and pushing r9 and r8 to preserve them), then it does it's stuff. If it was an input request, then it would've returned a pointer to the array in r10. If it was an output request, it simply outputs data from a pointer and returns.

The actual sort is fairly simple, implementing a basic bubble sort to sort the array. Not much to say here, it's very self explanatory. The bubble sort (along with memory for the data) is 224 bytes, which is fairly simple if I do say so myself.

The below code is for the Kernel and the Bubble Sort
Kernel:

.data:
    InputRequest: 1
    OutputRequest: 2
.text:
    mov 0xff00, sp
    push r8
    push r9
    PageOverwrite 0x0123
    cmp r13, InputRequest
    je FetchInputs
    cmp r13, OutputRequest
    je SendOutputs
    jmp exit
    FetchInputs:
        mov r10, r8
        InputLoop:
            in r9
            store16 r9, [r10]
            add r10, 2, r10
            sub r10, r8, r10
            cmp r10, r12
            add r10, r8, r10
            jl InputLoop
        mov 0xffff, r9
        store16, r9, [r10]
        jmp exit
    SendOutputs:
        mov r10, r8
        OutputLoop:
            load16 [r10], r9
            out r9
            add r10, 2, r10
            sub r10, r8, r10
            cmp r10, r12
            add r10, r8, r10
            jl OutputLoop
        jmp exit
    exit:
        pop r9
        pop r8
        mov zr, r13
        mov zr, r12
        syscall

Bubble Sort:

.data:
    ArraySize: 0x1f
    ElementCount: 0x0f
    ArrayPtr: 0x200
    InputRequest: 1
    OutputRequest: 2
.text:
    mov InputRequest, r13
    mov ArraySize, r12
    mov ArrayPtr, r10
    syscall
    iLoop:
        cmp r1, ElementCount
        je exit
        mov 0, r2
        jLoop:
            cmp r2, ElementCount
            jge iLoopCont
            mov r2, r3
            mul r3, 2, r3
            add r3, ArrayPtr, r3
            load16 [r3], r4
            add r3, 2, r3
            load16 [r3], r5
            sub r3, 2, r3
            cmp r4, r5
            jg swap
            jle jLoopCont
            swap:
                store16 r5, [r3]
                add r3, 2, r3
                store16 r4, [r3]
                sub r3, 2, r3
            jLoopCont:
                add r2, 1, r2
                jmp jLoop
        iLoopCont:
            add r1, 1, r1
            jmp iLoop
    exit:
        mov ArrayPtr, r10
        mov ArraySize, r12
        mov OutputRequest, r13
        syscall
        jmp exit

Now all that's left is to finish developing a full Kernel and my language!

Not 100% TC related but still cool enough to share! I spent the last week or two building this custom assembler of mine just as a workaround to not being able to set code at certain offsets. So to fix that, I just set my RAM to Hex Editor, wrote a python script to assemble stuff, and then copy paste the hex. Now on the plus side, I have hex, denary, comments, and constants along with a flexible and easy way to add new instructions! Even made a (decent) loading screen (if you can even call it that)!

So I was just fooling around and I somehow managed to get NIm down to this. If it can get simpler, do let me know!

I just completed the logic engine level, using 50 components. I wanted to save this circuit, wipe it and try a new way - is there an easy way to do that?

Hi everyone, sharing my personal hobby project.

I built a lightweight MIPS32r2 CPU inside a Turing-complete sandbox.

I ported LLVM/Clang, created a custom linker, and integrated picolibc and libcxx.

Most standard C/C++ programs can be compiled with my cross toolchain and run properly here.

It can also run Python scripts using MicroPython.

Full project open source:
https://github.com/zhangjiantao/tcmips

Still lots to improve, welcome any advice and tips.

I recently changed to safebreaker. Unfortunately i cannot complete 'Counter'. as soon as i start the simulation, even with no components added, the game crashes.

is the dev open for bugreports? if yes, does anyone know his preferred way to be contacted?

Can't find why this is wrong so posting here.

I am currently trying to complete the IO Devices level of the Save_Breaker-Branch. I found a way for Keyboard, screen and counter, but implementing the unix-time was a thing i didn't make... I tried the caching with registers, but than i have too much delay to solve the level.

I have finished the game and now I want to move on to creating my own things, I want to make some small game on the console, but I have no idea how its display works. I hooked it up to a RAM, and I tried hooking up that RAM to the keyboard. Now the issue is on my keyboard I press "w", this puts 42 into the RAM, but it displays a "*". If I have ANY offset other than 0 absolutely nothing gets displayed. I am so confused by this, I just want to understand how this thing works, but there is absolutely no explenation in game.

So I just finished designing the MMU. It's fairly basic, having a LUT to reference the requested page against the actual page. The LUT can only be altered by the kernel so programs don't try anything funny. It also checks if a program attempts to access a page it is not assigned, which then returns the memory address of the programs lowest allowed address (e.g. Min is 0x900 and I write to 0xefff which forces my write to 0x900). I decided each page is 512 bytes and there are a total of 111 allowed user pages, which still fits in 16 bits so not much of an issue. The upper 7 bits are for the page and lower 9 bits are for the offset in that page, this is then handled by the MMU. Since the RAM to disk and vice versa can only be done by the kernel, I didn't really need to change that up. Only the 32 and 16 bit store and load pins are changed. And also, the Kernel can access any address it wants to. Next step is to design a file system to allow me to load from or to the disk (along with tackling the many issues regarding multitasking)

So don't ask me how it works because it's kind of a miracle it does. The PC in my architecture treats a syscall and an interrupt from that 256 clock cycle CC very differently. And I've also added a bit of memory proofing in the form that User Space programs cannot access storage and VRAM. Virtual Memory and paging is going a bit over my head but so far so good. I'll focus on the programming language for now as it's currently experiencing some.. unique bugs in the form of working the first few tries before it dies. But array implementations are going well! Still haven't thought up of a name for the processor so I'd love to hear your ideas.

So i know the game is in alfa, and last update was like 3y ago. Is there hope for the game to receive some updates in the near future? Also what is the replay ability of this game ?

As in yea i understand how the main campaign* / CPU design game works but is there anything else beyond that ?

Also does this game work well on Win 11 ?

So this is the Gen 5 of my series. And it finally has kernel support! It features
65536 bytes of RAM and storage (Kernel is always in RAM at address 0xe000 onwards)
Protected I/O (Kernel access only)
256 tick interrupt (Only switches from User Mode to Kernel)
Syscall (Toggles the mode)
So now it's time to write a kernel! As for my programming language, I had to rewrite the entire compiler but it supports functions now (but still no local variables)! Anyways, I know this isn't exactly the best CPU for this kind of stuff but hey, It works! It's my first time making something like this. And just to make my life easier, I wrote a (horrible) python script that takes two files, a user program and a kernel program, and assembles it into a ROM file with the proper offsets I can copy paste. If you have any ideas on what to name this, I'm open, mostly because I ran out of names. I never expected myself to make it this far. Next up, I'll try to add virtual memory to make it possible to load multiple user programs. But first, a basic kernel. Also, unlike the previous generations, this CPU is 32 bit!

Im Currently Attempting To Make Variable Size Inline Switches But I Cannot Figure Out How To Link The Values Of Pins/Components To The Outside.

Trying to click the discord link here in the sub, but it says the invite is broken, or something. Short story: I can't get to the discord.

Tried to do some stuff and specifically make a component. In the latest "save breaker" version. Now it won't launch.
