Experimental high-level virtual machine...

dxvm

Oh, what's this?

Don't worry about it.

No really, what is it?

No, really, don't worry about it.

Come on, just tell me!

Alright, this project is essentially just me trying to screw around with making a virtual machine using low-level programming. dxvm has its own instruction set and all of that sort of stuff, but I kinda have no idea what I'm doing currently.

...but yeah, this is mostly just a learning project for fun. Don't go write your own video games in DxVM machine code and then become disappointed that I stopped taking the project seriously. The JVM already exists; go learn Java or something. ;-;

If I DO happen to go somewhere with this project, though, I'll make sure to add calls for r/w on files, cross-platform dialog boxes, and more.

Contributions

Don't. Just don't. It's that simple. Go contribute to something more important. 😆

Building

Just compile the code like any other Rust project

git clone https://github.com/Lamby777/dxvm.git
cd dxvm
cargo build --release

Usage

Keep in mind that as of me writing this, dxvm does not yet support actually interpreting code. Currently, the only way I'm running DxVM machine code is through slice literals in tests.rs. Certified TDD moment, am I right?

HOWEVER, when it DOES eventually get support (aka when I stop being lazy and/or when I get less homework), this will work:
