Pep/8 is used in my Introduction to Computer Science. It’s a nice program, especially if I had the Computing Systems Textbook for which the program was originally made to be used along side instead of Computer Science Illuminated which “borrows” it and only touches it lightly in their chapter on low level programming.
My interest is continuing to learn more about the architecture of PCs with emphasis on programming in machine and assembly and seeing the similarities between the two languages while keeping it simple(via emulating and contrasting). Hence why Pep/8 could do a wonderful job(it does both machine and asm), but only if only it had additional fre resources(web tutorials, Youtube videos, etc).
Does anyone know of any other type of software that is similar to pep/8? That is a virtual machine with limited registers, instructions, etc used for academic teaching but with more free documentation?
