6 sourcesAll right.
I am no expert in compilers, but how does it compare to, say...
• TinyC – https://bellard.org/tcc/
• Small-C – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-C
• Smaller C – https://github.com/alexfru/SmallerC

155 points · Open discussion>I wonder what became of 0x10C after Notch dropped it. Has anyone picked it up and kept working on it? Alternatively, I know Space Engineers is similar in kind, and was quite a bit of fun to play. It just doesn't (or didn't?) have any computing component.
There is some successor projects. Perhaps the most famous is Trillek at trillek.org .Forums are dead, but IRC is pretty active at freenode #project-trillek
Actually we have a full computer working with a more realistic behaviour, using TR3200 CPU (RISC like 32 bit cpu), with screen, keyboard, floppy drive, timer, RTC, beeper, hardware "random" number generator, etc. Tehre is two assemblers for it, WaveAsm and VASM. Also, SmallerC can output assembly code for it, and there is other C compiler that would have TR3200 backend (qcc , D language write C compiler).
A BASIC interpreter for it wo

uld very appreciate (or FORTH or any other easy learn language)

PD: I forgot to mention that we have a simple firmware that detect devices, prints some information, try to bootup from floppy, and have a machine code monitor that is a clone of Woz's monitor ? https://github.com/Zardoz89/trillek-firmware
