Ask HN: Looking for alpha testers for HRAM (asm)

6 points by 90s_dev 18 hours ago

Hi everyone. I'm making an app called HRAM (hand-rolled assembly machine), and I plan to release it this week. But I need some beta testers first. Please send me an email at admin@90s.dev if you're interested. Your feedback will be helpful enough that I'll give you a free license. The app is only for Windows (10 or 11).

The app is programmable via Lua and has an assembly library built in, so you can create and run assembly functions at runtime. It has a 320x180 pixel screen that you can manipulate to help you practice assembly. The point of the app is to help learn low level concepts, in the fun environment of making a retro style game. I'm also in the process of adding threading/mutexes/etc also, but that may have to wait post release.

Very early manual, likely to change dramatically: https://hram.dev/docs.txt

Thanks for your time, have a great Sunday!
