Midnightas is Devving

Looking at fantasy consoles like Pico8 and others, I was inspired. I decided to make my own.

Looking at the names, they all sound like Greek letters, kind of..? So, I generated a random Greek letter (to append 16 to) and I got.. epsilon. Did it again and I got Eta, so, I’m using η.

Because I want cross-platform compatibility between Android and Desktop, I used a language with both support, Java. (Also because I use a game engine called LibGDX).

As always, this will be fantasy :(, I can’t make my own damn CPU! This is what the console is made of (very basically):

The obvious CPU

The mathy ALU

The brainy memory (both RAM and ROM)

(SOFTWARE) An assembler

(SOFTWARE) Maybe... a programming language that compiles to it's assembly?

THE START

Ever since GMT shutdown, I’ve wanted to make a recreation (and maybe host it?) of the entire thing one by one. Of course, the mapping won’t be done by me (most likely, at least I hope so).
