Pigeon Computer 0.1 Initial (BETA) release

Summary
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

The Pigeon Computer is a simple but sophisticated system for learning
and exploring the fundamentals of computers and programming.

It is written to support a course or class (as yet pending) to learn
programming from the bit to the compiler.

There is a DRAFT manual and a Pigeon User Interface that includes:

=C2=A0 * An assembler for the ATmega328P micro-controller.
=C2=A0 * A polymorphic meta-compiler.
=C2=A0 * Forth-like firmware in assembly.
=C2=A0 * Simple high-level language for assembly control structures.
=C2=A0 * A virtual computer that illustrates Functional Programming.

Source code is released under the GPL (v3) and is hosted on Github:
=C2=A0 https://github.com/PhoenixBureau/PigeonComputer

The manual is online in HTML form here:
=C2=A0 http://phoenixbureau.github.com/PigeonComputer/

Mailing list:
=C2=A0 https://groups.google.com/d/forum/pigeoncomputer

It has been tested on Linux with Python 2.7, YMMV.

I'm releasing it now because it's basically done even though it nee= ds
polish and I'm just too excited about it. =C2=A0Happy End of the World = Day!


This sound fun!

Could you elaborate a bit in simple words what it is and what's th= e common way to interact with the system ? What do you mean by =C2=AB=C2=A0= Forth-like firmware in assembly=C2=A0=C2=BB ? Is there a GUI ? Does= it feels like being a hipster like in the '50s or before and breaking = the 1 billion dollar thing ?

Of course the little tutorial I stripped and read= a bit gives some of the responses.

Thanks

Amirouche

Whew! =C2=A0If you are still reading, thank you. =C2=A0There is a lot more = to be
done and I am hoping to form classes in early January 2013. =C2=A0If you are interested please email me at forman.simon@gmail.com
