"<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Have you ever wondered how the chips inside your computer work? How they process information and run programs? Are you maybe a bit let down by the low resolution of chip photographs on the web or by complex diagrams that reveal very little about how circuits work? Then you've come to the right place!" <a href="http://www.visual6502.org">http://www.visual6502.org</a><div><a href="http://www.visual6502.org"></a> <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Casey Ransberger <<a href="mailto:casey.obrien.r@gmail.com">casey.obrien.r@gmail.com</a>> Date: Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 10:51 AM Subject: [fonc] Visual 6502 To: Fundamentals of New Computing <<a href="mailto:fonc@vpri.org">fonc@vpri.org</a>> This is kind of cool. They took a 6502, X-rayed it, vectorized the photographs, and then used polygon intersection to implement an emulator in JavaScript. I haven't hears of anyone doing anything like that before. Made me think of the FONC TCP/IP bootstrap in it's surprising straightforwardness and unorthodoxy. Also, it seems to suggest a "polygonal language," which is interesting to me. You can watch a color coded image of the processor doing it's thing and even step through code, right in your browser. I really think this could be a fun way to teach kids about microprocessors. Thought I'd share, hopefully this is interesting to folks:) <a href="http://www.visual6502.org" target="_blank">http://www.visual6502.org</a> _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list <a href="mailto:fonc@vpri.org">fonc@vpri.org</a> <a href="http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc" target="_blank">http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc</a> </div> </div>
