Tiny8 is an educational 8-bit CPU simulator written in Python, featuring an AVR-inspired architecture with 32 registers, a 60+ instruction assembler, and an interactive terminal debugger. It also generates GIF/MP4 animations of program execution for learning and teaching computer architecture.
Use cases
- learn how a cpu executes assembly instructions
- visualize algorithms like bubble sort running on a simple cpu
- step through assembly code with a debugger
- teach computer architecture fundamentals to students
- generate animated gifs of register and memory changes
- experiment with an avr-inspired 8-bit instruction set
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free way to learn or teach CPU fundamentals
- you need interactive step-by-step debugging with change highlighting
- you want to create visual animations of program execution for presentations
When to avoid
- you need to simulate real AVR hardware or run actual Arduino firmware
- you require a full-featured emulator for production embedded development
- you need multi-core or 16/32/64-bit CPU simulation
