16-Bit Virtual Machine in JavaScript 001

In this episode we begin implementing a 16-bit virtual machine from scratch in JavaScript. The concepts of computation are introduced, along with the basics of assembly language and machine code.

=[ ℹ About ℹ ]=

This series is all about building a powerful virtual machine in JavaScript with the following features:

- A flexible, extensible, register-based virtual machine
- Support for signed, unsigned and floating point operations
- A call stack
- Interrupt capabilities
- Ability to do memory mapping for IO
- An assembly language with macro and module support
- A higher level, C like language. We'll use and expand the library from the parser combinators from scratch series
- And finally, to be able to take the whole thing into the browser and exend it to create a sort of fantasy console - an emulator for a machine that never existed

You're doing amazing work. Don't stop.

[renato.bohler]

Very, very cool. This is the kind of channel that really deserves to grow. I'm definitely sharing.

Hi! I'm long time self-taught web developer from Ukraine! Hardware and software engineering was always my passion, but in my city there's no good CS universities. So thank you for your work, so I can implement such thing as VM along with you step-by-step and try my best to make sure, that I learn logic behind all this stuff!

[SavingShredz]

god dammit now i have to binge watch these even though they're not entirely relevant to what i'm doing

[ElliotdeVries]

Looking forward to more. Never done (or even really looked at) any low-level programming, and seeing it for the first time in JavaScript is both odd and fascinating.

I don't have a particularly large following but I shared it on Twitter and Discord anyway because this channel deserves exposure and growth.

I have hard time believing how criminally underrated your channel is, You're basically teaching university level of topics for free! I can't thank you enough for this content!

[monman]

This is incredible man. Please keep up the good work.

[keithrobinson]

Just found the best channel on YouTube!

[StereoPT]

I've just discovered this channel and I have to comment to say that this is really good content.
Can't wait to see the progress going forward!

[deckarep]

This channel is gold. I’m super impressed with your videos and your clear, quick explanations please make more videos on this subject!

[darqed]

I just found this video and its absolutely amazing. I wish there were more channels like you!

[simonc]

On so many levels, this is genuinely one of the best tech videos I've ever watched. Bravo!

[MisterMojoRising]

This is amazing, I'm currently going through my computer organization course in university and this video really helps putting all the concepts togheter. Keep it up!

[edwardmacnab]

I'm surprised that you don't have more subscribers frankly .

[shekharaakula]

I am so sad I couldn't find this channel earlier! It's a gold mine for programmers.

[singhyuvraj]

Great video, This makes Javascript for everything possible

[IannoOfAlgodoo]

This is so sick to get to know lower level code in a language that I understand.

[michaelxtronik]

Man.. This is weirdly satisfying. I think I finally start to understand how CPUs work

[spencerk]

If you could increase font size that would be great.
