Implementation Notes

Pixie VM is fully implemented in the header pixie/pixie.h. pixie/pixie.cpp provides a simple way to load a program from a file. Expected format of a program is a text file consisting of any number of 16 bit unsigned integers separated by spaces. pixie/pixie.cpp instantiates a VM and connects stdin to input port 0 and stdout to output port 0.

The project currently comes with a VS solution file. Linux support to be added. Pixie uses C++17 std::variant so it requires a compiler/STL which supports this type.

The assembler is implemented in Python3. It runs several passes over the source text transforming it into the final program which is output as a sequence of space-separated numbers consumable by the pixie executable.
