A lightweight 8-bit virtual machine with a custom assembler, designed for learning and experimentation. Execute custom assembly code on a simulated 16-bit architecture!
- 8-Bit Architecture: 4 general-purpose registers (each 8-bits).
- Instruction Set: Includes arithmetic, stack operations.
- Portable: Written in Rust for cross-platform use.
- Educational: Ideal for learning low-level programming.
