- Developed custom assembly language and assembler for the 1982 HP-16C programmable Computer Scientist’s calculator and emulators in Python.
- Implemented comprehensive support for all HP-16C operations, automatic inclusion of modifier keys, changing settings on the fly, comments, and argument error checking.
- Added advanced features for error handling, including memory overflow and out-of-range address detection (crucial when working with the HP-16C’s measly 203 Bytes of combined program and data memory).
- Supported advanced functionalities such as floating-point numbers, initial mode settings, and pseudo-instructions.
- Enabled output in multiple formats, including direct importing for 2 different simulators and a printable PDF.
- Created extensive documentation and user guides to facilitate ease of use and understanding.
- Utilized logging for debugging and error tracking, ensuring robust and maintainable code.
- Contributed to the open-source community by extending the usefulness and accessibility of existing open-source software.
- Wrote and supplied numerous Jovial Assembly programs to provide an extensive software library for additional functionality when using the HP-16C.
