| I just finished writing one for the Motorola 68K, as part of a CS team project. Of course (as usual), I wound up being the one doing all the coding. The solution involved using jump tables, & I finished it in under 2800 lines of code + comments. Definitely have a newfound respect for hardware design & compiler development! |
| When I used to write directly in machine language or used assembly language - it truly made me appreciate sleek compact efficient code. I wrote an entire terminal program in under 2K. I can't believe how bloated code is these days since we can have so much memory and hard drive space - sheesh! |
