This reminds me a little bit of my computer architecture class. We started at logic gates in a simulator[1], and worked our way up from there to flip-flops and adders, memory chips, a simple ALU, and eventually a whole 8-bit CPU in the simulator. I want to think that we were even writing assembly for it, loading the programs into the simulated memory, and executing it. It was a great way to get a sense of how everything works, and I think it's when C-style pointers really clicked for me. [1] this one, IIRC https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/ |
