## Assembler for the Future

Just finished using Grok for my assembler for the computer. It took a decent bit of time, but far less than it would have to do it myself. And like, yes, [others](https://hlorenzi.github.io/customasm/web/) do exist, but this is mine, and I can do with it what I want. Maybe I'll make it a web app sometime. It's in python though, so who knows. However, it is a good step towards my final goal, which would almost be a compiler to translate something legible like Basic or, HOPEFULLY, C/C++. Or, I might try to make my computer able to run gcc or tcc. But, I think that's a _very_ far step, and I don't even know if it's possible without going to something much more advanced.

I highly recommend printing out Digital Computer Electronics, and maybe some other books as well, found [here](https://thecodingchicken.com/chips/computer%20design/). I'll continue uploading future books that I found on the subject there. I haven't read all of them, but they seemed relevant in the quest for knowledge and future builds.

I'm going to get back to testing out my SAP-1, as it was acting weirdly. But the manual inputting of data has really shown me how annoying it is to program stuff, even when you only have 10 lines of code.

I updated the assembler a fair bit, and got some new fibonacci code generated. But something's still goofed up, so I guess I'll have to try it again later. Might have been me entering it in or something, as other code worked.

I'm probably going to set this up temporarily with an arduino.

You know, I might end up upgrading the SAP-1 to 256 bytes of ram, for better programming in the future. I think that's a fair upgrade to it without reinventing the whole thing.
