MCPU - Documentation
This repository is the homepage for documentation regarding the MCPU
CPU instruction set architecture.
About MCPU
The MCPU architecture is a CPU instruction set that was designed to be
easy to implement and understand.
There are also several example implementations to lear from, including a web
based emulator and assembler that you can try in your browser, as well as an
implementation in Minecraft.
The term MCPU stands for max1220’s CPU, mini-CPU, modular CPU, Minecraft CPU -
Pick your favorite, it’s just a meaningless project name ;P
Getting started
The easiest way to learn more about MCPU is to go to the homepage of the
mcpu-web project: It features the MCPU documentation in HTML form, and also
has a built-in emulator and assembler and interactive examples.
The quick reference is also very useful as a reference.
