I have been taking it myself, and we use HDL (Hardware Description Language) to put together a 16 bit CPU. On top of that you design a programming language, and make a game using that language. I only got to the part where you build the CPU, so I cannot vouch for the second half(10-15-2019, 07:34 PM)XWorld Wrote: This is almost like magic to me, never seen this before i know about binary and stuff, but never thought that i would need this sort of in depth understanding , i mean will i need it in the future ?, i actually don't know but i think that i would be taking a look at it in the future if i still have brain cells, so thanks for putting up this article i hope it sticks around, till 2021 or somethingYou might need it. If you want to start designing and building processors you absolutely will. If you want to learn to write more efficient code, you NEED to understand how that code is actually being executed, and so you need at least a fair understanding of assembly language, compilers, and CPU design.
