Uxn

A stack-based VM, written in ANSI C.

Setup

If you wish to build your own emulator, you can create a new instance of Uxn like:

#include "uxn.h"

Uxn u;

if(!bootuxn(&u))
	return error("Boot", "Failed");
if(!loaduxn(&u, argv[1]))
	return error("Load", "Failed");
if(!init())
	return error("Init", "Failed");

evaluxn(u, u->vreset); /* Once on start */
evaluxn(u, u->vframe); /* Each frame

  • Defines
  • Jump helpers

Notes

Conditional Jumping

I've considered automatically popping an amount of items from the stack equal to the offset between the opcode's push/pop to make the stack length more predictable, and making the pattern JMP? POP2 unecessary, but that idea would make DUP? unusable. That change was reverted.
