Nand to Tetris Golang Implementation

Visit the Nand2Tetris website: http://nand2tetris.org/

Overview

The Nand to Tetris course explores key computer science concepts including operating systems, compilers, virtual machines, assemblers, and logic gates. This implementation is built in Go.

The course overview picture from Nand to Tetris

1. Assembler Part

The Assembler translates assembly language code (*.asm) into machine code (*.hack).

English: Medium Article
Japanese: Zenn Article

How to Run the Assembler Example:

How to run assembler on the example:

cd ./assembler
go run . ../examples/Pong/Pong.asm

2. VM Translator part

The VM Translator converts Virtual Machine code (*.vm) into assembly code (*.asm).

How to Run the VM Translator Example:

cd ./vm
go run . ../examples/Pong

3. Compiler part

The Compiler converts code written in the Jack language (*.jack) into VM code (*.vm). The Jack language is a straightforward programming language developed by the creators of Nand to Tetris.

How to Compile an Example Jack File:

cd ./compiler
go run . ../examples/Pong

Note: The current version of the compiler does not implement operator precedence as this feature is not covered in the Nand to Tetris course. I may add this feature later when I have more time.
