Little Man Computer

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with executing programs with Little Man Computer?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

 

There are many implementations of Little Man Computer and variations. You can be one, yourself, if you have 100 boxes or things that can hold pieces of paper with 3 digit numbers and instructions on them, (or just a chalkboard with a 10x10 grid of cells that each can hold 3 digit numbers,) an inbox, an outbox, and an adding machine. Are you working with one particular implementation?

The basic idea is to set up the mailboxes and inbox, run it, and get the output stream and maybe what the accumulator (adding machine) says. Some implementations require you to compile assembler, which is more readable. I prefer the ones that use raw codes, myself.

If you have a specific problem, feel free to ask.
