Tiny8 documentation
Tiny8 is a lightweight toolkit that allows you to explore how computers work at their core through small-scale memory models, handcrafted assembly, and lightweight in-memory data structures. Designed for rapid experimentation, Tiny8 embraces minimalism with zero unnecessary dependencies, a clean design, and intuitive visualization tools that make learning, debugging, and tinkering enjoyable.
Why Tiny8?
Lightweight: tiny install footprint and no heavy runtime dependencies.
Educational: clear primitives and examples that demonstrate CPU concepts, memory layout, and algorithms.
Fast feedback loop: assemble, run, and visualize within seconds to iterate on ideas.
Extensible: meant for experiments, teaching, demos, and small tools that benefit from a predictable, tiny VM.
Who should use it?
Students learning low-level programming, assembly, or computer architecture who want hands-on examples.
Educators building demos and interactive lessons that visualize how registers and memory change.
