This project is my second attempt at writing a virtual machine that reads bytecode and executes it. I've also written a "compiler" that can read some custom assembly language and emit vm2 bytecode; it is available in the VirtualMachine2-Compiler repository. That repository also includes a link to the "spec" of the virtual machine bytecode - it is incomplete, perhaps ambition and hubris got the better of me, but I figured I'd leave it in the original state. Despite this, the virtual machine itself is fully functional and can execute any algorithm. There is a third repository, VirtualMachine2-Visualizer which is an interactive terminal programme which you can use to explore the VM's bytecode. (This was created in 2018 / This is a hobby High School project)
- Depends only on the C++17 standard library.
