Having fun playing around with colorForth and GreenArrays architecture. See the demo and blog series - Blog series moved here to Github:

The assembler watches for changes to the block files saved by the editor. I leave an instance of this running in one terminal window (right) while working in the editor in another (left). Later I run the machine in a third window.

Setup

Everything is written in F# and uses solution (.sln) and project (.fsproj) files compatible with Visual Studio, Xamarin or plain xbuild. I personally have been using plain Vim (with the excellent F# bindings). Here's setup steps for Ubuntu:

Install F#

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install fsharp

Pull down the project

git clone http://github.com/AshleyF/Color

Build

xbuild Color.sln

Each project produces an executable (Assembler.exe, Editor.exe, Machine.exe) within bin/
