Re: Perl Spectrum Emulator

[spurperl]

It doesn't sound so surprising to me.

I've written a MIX (Knuth's imaginary computer) emulator in pure Perl, including a compiler for the MIXAL language, and it works pretty well. Of course, MIX has no graphics whatsoever (only a text terminal).

A MIX emulator in perl? That sounds great, Wow!

Update: I once wrote an emulator (but no assembler) for a much simpler processor than either of these in Ruby, and my obfu Re: Pattern matching can be said to simulate an even simpler processor (well, I've compiled it with a simple assembler program I've written in ruby).
