The Synacor Challenge is a fun programming exercise with a number of puzzles
|
|
built into it. You can find more details about it here:

|
The first puzzle is writing an interpreter for their custom ISA. This is a
|
|
simulator for that custom CPU. The CPU is quite basic: it's 16-bit with only
|
|
8 registers and a limited set of instructions. This means the port will never
|
|
grow new features. See README.arch-spec for more details.
|
|
|
|
Implementing it here ends up being quite useful: it acts as a simple constrained
|
|
"real world" example for people who want to implement a new simulator for their
|
|
own architecture. We demonstrate all the basic fundamentals (registers, memory,
|
|
branches, and tracing) that all ports should have.
