Custom CPU

November 2023 - Current

“Excpute” is an 8 bit Central Processing Unit (CPU) programmed originally in Python, and currently in development on C++ and JavaScript. It features 8 registers, 3 dedicated to the Memory Address, Stack Pointer, and Flags. The CPU supports 32 different instructions, including ones dedicated to display manipulation. It supports a 256x256 display, with complete 8-bit color, as well as up to 256 8-bit ports, and a stack that utilizes part of memory, which is also 256 bytes. IO such as a keyboard and mouse inputs are completely functional.

Alongside that I have made my own custom assembler for the CPU, to convert assembly made for the CPU into binaries that the CPU can process, complete with labels and variables.

Currently, I am also planning on making a 16 bit version, with 256 different instructions.

Text Editor

February 2023 - March 2024

Over the course of a year, I developed a text editor. It takes user input from a keyboard very similar to a 60% keyboard qwerty layout. It converts the input into an 8 bit number with a custom character set similar to ascii, stores it in a First In First Out (FIFO) queue, and each 8 bit character gets converted into a 5x7 image with a custom ROM. The character image then gets put into the next available spot on the display using a smart character detection system utilizing a signal bit.

All of the mentioned above was created in Minecraft using Redstone with many months of research and development, and it is infinitely expandable to fit a large range of character counts.

Website

June 2020 - 2022

During Quarantine, I created a website from scratch. It consists of many pages and took many hours of work. It was during the time where I was learning about web development and HTML/CSS, and joined design trends during the time such as Neumorphism and Glassmorphism.

Though it is one of my earliest programming projects, it allowed me to teach myself how to develop websites and even get a certification early in high school.

2020 - Current

Along with major projects, I have worked on many small python projects to help expand my knowledge about the language, and learn different ways to do different tasks.
