Overview

This was the first-year university group project for Platforms for Computing. In this module, we learned about assembly language and the core concepts of computing logic, among other vital lessons.

This repository contains a version of the retro game Hangman using a virtual 8-bit processor. The software side of the system used a custom assembly language from the university known as CDM8. A program called Logisim connected the software to the hardware.

Technologies used in this project:

Software-side:

CDM8 Assembly Language

Hardware-side:

Logisim for creating the board and implementing software

Set up

File Downloads:

Download Logisim http://www.cburch.com/logisim/

Instructions:

• Run cocoideV1.92.pyw with Python3.
• Using the cocoIDE interface, open Hangman_RAM_Program.asm
• Using the cocoIDE interface, save an image of the ASM file.
• Using the cocoIDE interface, open Hangman_ROM_Program.asm
• Using the cocoIDE interface, save an image of the ASM file.
• Run the Logisim application
• Open Hangman_Circuit.circ in Logisim
• (If it requires a specific library, locate the library (I would have provided this to you also))
• Load the ROM image to instr memory
• Load the RAM image to data memory
• Enable Simulation & Ticks in Logisim. Now, you should be good to go to get started!
