Dear Community,

Thanks a lot for your support and understanding during this tough time. We really appreciate your patience and believing in our project, especially considering the circumstances we have faced due to the war in Ukraine, which has impacted our development pace.

Your continued support, feedback, and activity in the community are a real help to us. They give us the energy to keep working on our binary computer despite all the difficulties. We appreciate every comment and every word of encouragement you give us.

We strive to meet your expectations and create a high-quality and engaging program that will allow you to master assembler. We're working hard to get the full learning program to you as soon as we can.

Thank you for staying with us. Your support is invaluable to us.

We're happy to announce the release of a series of learning materials for assembler programming. Right now, the lessons are available in Ukrainian. You can find them in the game folder in a file called "lessons-ukr.pdf". In the near future, we'll add lessons in English and other languages.

Sincerely,

The Development Team

Congratulations to all real programmers on the upcoming 256th day of the year! Wishing clear and bug-free code.

Change log:

New instructions allow more efficient use of memory. Less code more productivity. See list of new instructions HERE.

Now there is no need to manually write the NOP-instruction in the ASM Mode. You can just press ENTER on a blank line and the instructions will be filled in automatically.

Added Discord support.

Fixed bug found by user. (Thank you Vincent!)

While still working on Training Mode, we see an opportunity to extend the ASTRA-256’s capabilities by adding several new instructions. Similar ones also existed in the first processors. 27 new instructions will allow more efficient use of memory and at the same time will simplify creation of new programs. Coming in July.
