Complete with assembler, disassembler, debugger and video terminal implementations.

See http://0x10c.com/doc/dcpu-16.txt for specification of the CPU.

Notch apparently started doing a 6502 emulator first. Given I did one in Python https://github.com/jtauber/applepy it only seems fitting I now do a DCPU-16 implementation in Python too :-)

Runs a number of example programs successfully. Should be feature-complete at the CPU level.

A dissassembler and (two) assemblers are also included as well as the emulator. The emulator includes a debugger.

• ./asm.py example.dasm16 example.obj will assemble Notch's example to object code
• ./disasm.py example.obj will disassemble the given object code
• ./dcpu16.py example.obj will execute it (but won't show anything without extra options)

There is also an experimental pyparsing-based assembler ./asm_pyparsing.py contributed by Peter Waller. You'll need to pip install pyparsing to run it.

./dcpu16.py takes a number of options:

• --debug runs the emulate in debug mode, enabling you to step through each instruction
• --trace dumps the registers and stack after every step (implied by --debug)
• --speed outputs the speed the emulator is running at in kHz
• --term TERM specifies a terminal to use for text output (null, debug, curses, pygame or qt)

I'm working on an operating system for the DCPU-16 at https://github.com/jtauber/dcpu16os and also plan an implementation of Forth at some point.
