Follow-up on this: The Toy CPU Simulator ranked #2 on the Open Jam! Of course, voting was very low. But it's still exciting to see a DOS game do this well. https://itch.io/jam/open-jam-2022/results What it is: I teach some university classes part-time, and this year I wrote a simulation of a simple CPU, to help my "100-level" ("intro-level" non-computer science) students understand how computers work, and how programming works. The prototype compiled on Linux with ncurses. The new version is a DOS program that runs in graphics mode. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
