Memory Filler in LMC
The aim of this challenge is to write a program in LMC that will fill in the memory/RAM with the value 999, from memory location 50 onwards (up to memory location 99). Note that even though such a program may…
Self-modifying code in LMC
In computer science, self-modifying code is code that alters its own instructions while it is executing. Getting code that overwrites itself can seem dubious, rather risky and hence unrecommended. However in some cases, it is a technique that can be…
Drone Display
Drone displays/light shows are performed by synchronized and choreographed collections of drones that position themselves to recreate various aerial formations. Each drone is equipped with LED lights that can change colour during the display. The first drone display was presented…

LED Dice Logic Gates Diagrams
LED Dice Our aim is to create an LED Dice using a breadboard and 7 LEDs disposed as follows: We will then use three buttons/switches to control the 7 LEDs of the dice to recreate the following patterns: Octal Number…
Stopwatch Class (JavaScript)
In this challenge we will create an interactive stopwatch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The aim of this blog post is to use Object Oriented Programming to create our own Stopwatch class. Step 1: Stopwatch Class and its constructor First…
Poker Card Game (JavaScript)
In this challenge we will create a one-player game of poker based on the rules of Texas Hold’em Poker. In a game of Texas Hold’em Poker, for each round, five “community cards” are dealt face-up on the “board”. Each player…
Stacks and Queues in LMC
In this post we will investigate how to implement a queue and a stack data structure using low-level programming. We will use an upgraded version of Little Man Computer (LMC) that supports indirect addressing to to do. Implementing a Queue…
Algebraic Pyramid Challenge
For the purpose of this challenge we will use algebraic pyramids pointing downwards (or upside down pyramids!). The idea of this mathematical puzzle is to fill in all the bricks of a pyramid based on the following rule: To work…
