Welcome!
This is ilo, a little virtual computer. ilo is mostly used with Konilo, a personal computing system written in Forth.
A brief overview:
- 65,536 memory locations ("cells")
- 32 bits per cell
- block storage device
- stack based architecture
- minimal instruction set (30 instructions)
- easy to implement and exend
This supports a variety of host architectures. Precompiled (mostly static) binaries are included for Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, MS-DOS, macOS, Haiku, Classic Mac Systems 5-7, and Windows. It has been tested and confirmed to work on x86 (8088+), amd64, arm64, and 68000 processors. Physical RAM requirements are around 384K.
In addition to the provided binaries, many implementations of ilo are included. These include Assembly, C, C++, C#, Common Lisp, D, Go, Hare, JavaScript, Kotlin, Lua, Nim, Python, RetroForth, Rust, Swift, and TypeScript.
