Hey everyone, I wanted to build a tool like this to clearly illustrate how 'code is just data' - something a lot of students in a class I TA'd struggled to grasp. Everything in CUTE centers around a memory array with disassembly overlay, and each word being editable. It's still a little rough around the edges (e.g - the assembler doesn't catch many syntactic errors which aren't hard to detect), but I wanted to get some early feedback!
