The official website of Nand to Tetris courses

Welcome to the NAND2Tetris project repository! This project is an exciting journey that takes you from building a basic computer using NAND gates all the way to creating a simple computer game. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn about computer architecture and gain hands-on experience in creating software from the ground up.

About NAND2Tetris

Nand2Tetris is a project created by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken to teach the fundamental concepts of computer systems. The project begins by teaching the user how to build a computer from scratch, using only NAND gates. The user then learns how to write assembly language programs for their computer, and then how to write higher-level languages, such as C and Java.

1. Hardware Construction: You'll start by building basic logic gates using NAND gates and gradually assemble a complete computer hardware system, including a CPU, memory, and input/output devices.

2. Software Development: Once you have your computer hardware ready, you'll write low-level assembly programs and develop a simple high-level programming language (Jack) compiler. Eventually, you'll create various software applications, including games!

This repository contains the materials and resources required to complete the NAND2Tetris course.

Additional tips

• Start by working on the first few projects. These projects will teach you the basics of building a computer and writing assembly language programs.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help. The Nand2Tetris forum is a great resource for getting help from other users.
• Use the Nand2Tetris simulator to test your hardware design and assembly language programs.
• Don't give up! Nand2Tetris is a challenging project, but it is also very rewarding.
• Cool Game that only covers a small part of the material in the above course, and is mostly intended as a fun exercise. The nand game
• This repository offers supplementary resources beyond the standard lectures and assignments. You'll find additional materials, such as PDFs containing detailed explanations specific to individual projects or lectures, enhancing your learning experience.
