What is Hack?

Hack is an assembly language included in the online course "Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: From Nand to Tetris" and the book "The Elements of Computing Systems" by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken (MIT Press). Hack is also the name of the computer Noam and Shimon designed as the project for the course "From Nand to Tetris".

Hack Specification

The Hack assembly language has two types of instructions:

A Instructions

C Instructions

Symbols

Hack Assembler

The assembler compiles symbolic Hack code to binary code that the Hack machine understands. This project is structured in four parts:

1. Parser
2. Emitter
3. Assembler
4. Browser interface written in Elm

If you prefer a command line interface, try the original project hack-assembler.
