Comment on Designing Zachtronics' TIS-100

Comments

TIS-100 is way more pleasurable to program on than real hardware. It is so easy to debug! Everything is visible.

People accomplished great things back in the 8-bit era with the tools they had, but the stuff they do today with the same hardware is truly mind blowing. I attribute that at least partially to things like that C64 emulator [1] where you can just view all of the system's memory during execution.
