The TSC is a simplified, simulated, 8-bit computer. It has a custom instruction set and built-in outputs to 8 seven-segment displays and a 16×16 pixel display with 256 colors. The TSC is experimental and prone to change. The instruction set and program format are documented inside the project in the "ReadMe" sprite. A better instruction set is in the works. Suggestions and questions are welcome. Demo programs can be found below. Controls: • Use the arrow keys to scroll the program editor. • Click the "Start" button on the right of the screen to start program execution from the highlighted line. Clicking the button again will stop program execution. • Click the "RESET" button to clear memory, move the active line to the top, and blank/zero all displays. To erase the program as well, hold Q while resetting. • Use the ">" and "<" buttons (not keyboard keys) to step forward and backward through the program and execute the active line. The ">>" and "<<" buttons (or pressing W and S) do the same, but they do not execute the active line. • Click "EDIT" or press E to edit the active line. Three prompts will appear one after the other. Values can be entered in binary or decimal formats. • The save button looks like a floppy disk and clicking it will generate a save code for your program in hex format. The load button is beneath the save button and opens a prompt where a save code can be pasted to load a program. • Click the monitor button in the bottom right of the screen to open the output panel to make the seven-segment and color displays visible. • Hold Q and click the "START" button to activate no-refresh mode to run the program without delays. No-refresh mode is on when the "START" button is magenta. • Press X, C, or V to cut, copy, or paste the active line. • Press R to shift all lines below the active line upward to take its place. Press F to push all lines at and below the active line down and create a new row in its place. • The paste and edit keybinds can be combined with the 1, 2, and 3, keys to affect only that column. In the event that malformed program data causes the computer to break, hold Q, and click the green flag or "RESET" button. Some demo programs can be found below. Open the output panel to see the displays.
