ASTRA-256 \u2014 A BINARY VIRTUAL MACHINE PROGRAMMED IN ASSEMBLER Step into the era of early computing and feel like a real engineer from the past. ASTRA-256 isn\u2019t just a computer \u2014 it\u2019s a complete educational environment where you write real Assembler code for a virtual von Neumann architecture machine. LEARN BY PLAYING ASTRA-256 is: An interactive simulator for learning Assembler from scratch. A logic puzzle for those who love \u201creal\u201d programming. A nostalgic time machine for veterans of the LPG-30, Altair 8800, and PDP-11. This is the kind of machine pioneers of computing once used to solve real problems \u2014 under tight resource constraints, just like in the 1970s. WHAT CAN ASTRA-256 DO? 8-bit processor with accumulator and visible registers: IP, IN, OUT, SP, FLAGS. 256 bytes of memory \u2014 just like the original Altair 8800 released in 1975 with the Intel 8080. 75 instructions grouped by purpose: control flow, data movement, arithmetic, stack, I\/O, and more. Lessons and documentation in five languages \u2014 printable, just like in the good old days. Start with simple programs and progress to complex algorithms: square roots, trigonometry, even mini-games. ASTRA-256 runs on a custom Assembler designed specifically for this environment. We intentionally offer an extended instruction set \u2014 similar to what you\u2019ll find in modern microcontrollers and processors. It\u2019s a hands-on way to gain foundational experience with low-level hardware logic \u2014 the kind that prepares you to work with any modern microcontroller. The principles haven\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
