Did you roll your own language for this, used existing or did you program it in machine code?

Did you roll your own language for this, used existing or did you program it in machine code?
- rbanffy 6y agoMachine code felt very close to Forth (I worked with GraFORTH on the Apple II prior to that), or an HP calculator (ironically, now I finally own one). The CPU was never implemented and large parts of the microcode were never written, but I have written some simple programs for it. The printouts and the folder are in my mom's house in Brazil, so I can't really look them up. Not sure the (5.25") floppy is still readable or what could interpret the netlist. For some ops I cheated a bit. The top of the stack could be referenced as registers, R0 to R7, but I don't think I used those shortcuts in sample code.
