It compiles to an assembly language (PAL III) which I’ve also written an assembler for. It was much simpler and also very fun to write. It generates instructions for a custom PDP-8 that I built with discreet logic chips. Also a lot of fun!

I attempted to write a C compiler for my PDP-8. Well technically it’s a C -> PAL transpiler. Furthest I got was unary, binary, and trinary operators. It supports 12-bit “integer” variables and a single main function that takes no arguments and returns an int. Code generation was probably the hardest

This is so cool, I’ve been wanting to recreate it since watching the video. I’m hoping you’ll do a video about the galvanometers you ordered, that seems to be the way to go
