In this course, you will learn about the 16-Bit Virtual Machine in JavaScript. You will learn about memory access and branching, stack and why we need it, implementing stack mechanics, memory mapped I/O, powering up with new instructions, assembly language and assembler, use of state machines in parsing, parsing nested expressions and and disambiguating the order of operations, a parser for every instruction, generating machine code, expanding beyond 62 KB of memory with bank switching, interrupts, assembler hack, inline data and constants, structures, building a fantasy game console emulator, system overview and graphics pipeline, system integration, and frogger in assembly.
