So, my last log was about implementing a compiler for my project. Today it was time to prepare a stage for my compiler, meaning making some sort of text editor.

I am making a single line text editor . First I will compile each line on the fly, which has a bad side to it -> you can't really go back and fix something in your code. You make a mistake, you start all over again. Later, when all commands will be implemented, I will change that.

Today I had a couple of hours of thinking and searching to do, before finnaly figuring out how to make a backspace functionality for my LCD display. But it is working now. I also started outlining the finished prototype, since the compiler (or better to say op code) is what connects all the parts of my computer together. So the plan is to have a two state computer.

STATES:

1. programming (editor, compiler, compiler output target)

2. Execution (not executing code directly from a target, but executing some built in functions, among which is a a method to call an assembled code from ROM).

Please, any thoughts on that?

I am pretty lost, so I'm just trying to make it as simple as possible, so to have something to build on. The main problem is that I don't have an exact idea of what the end thing will look like and work like.

Thanks.
