Random thoughts I have during development.
How would I like to see this work in a data flow manner? I don't know if the global GenServer idea is the best one here. I like the idea of having each function being passed a struct and it just modifies what it needs to in that struct as it passes it down the pipeline.
Maybe this?
c = %Computer{cpu: %CPU{}, memory: %Memory{}, cycle: 0, data: 0x33}
# `data` represents what is on the data bus?
c
|> fetch_opcode()
|> process_opcode()To process the opcode, the matching function would make multiple touches
def lda(0xad) do
end- There is a maximum of 3-byte opcodes, meaning I could potentially
Enum.slice(memory, pc, 3)and pattern match on the first element of the List
