+# UnnamedCPU
+
+Continuing my exploration of the lower-level world...
+
+This project is the implementation of a CPU in a high-level language, C. It aims to have a reduced (minimalist) instruction set and still be Turing complete.
+
+# How to test
+
+You can run a test program like that. I'll try making a developer's manual so one can make its own programs using the custom assembly here. 
+
+```
+make
+./a.out program.asm
+```
+
+# What I'd like to do
+
+- Finish the instruction set implementation
+- Implement input/output devices (like a serial output that could be redirected to the host terminal)
+- Re-do the CPU in a Hardware Description Language, or even better: with transistors IRL! (i probably won't waste my life doing that tho)
