I made a computer again. It can do a lot of stuff the previous one couldn't and can do most stuff that I'd ever wanted a TPT computer to do. It definitely can churn out Fibonacci numbers and primes. Check the relevant forum thread too.

@LBPHacker will there ever be audio added to this game?

The ALU is 16b but I rolled my own bignum primitive for fibonacci. It uses base 10000 digits to make printing easier. Fibonacci happens to be one of the demos that I've already documented, see https://github.com/LBPHacker/R316/blob/v2/examples/demo.asm

What's the integer limit on this computer? Seems like fibonacci can run indefinitely with sufficient ram?

@RandomGoober And from my experience, writing and maintaining assembly code is significantly harder and less productive than working with higher-level languages like C/C++. Nearly all modern software development relies on higher-level languages because they are more accessible, maintainable, and portable.

@RandomGoober Using a transpiler to convert between different assembly languages (such as MIPS or ARM32 to another architecture) is generally not a practical approach though. Programming directly in modern ASM is notoriously difficult and time-consuming.
