Description
Step into the era of early computing and feel like a real engineer from the past. ASTRA-256 isn’t just a computer — it’s a complete educational environment where you write real Assembler code for a virtual von Neumann architecture machine.
LEARN BY PLAYING
ASTRA-256 is:
An interactive simulator for learning Assembler from scratch.
A logic puzzle for those who love “real” programming.
A nostalgic time machine for veterans of the LPG-30, Altair 8800, and PDP-11.
This is the kind of machine pioneers of computing once used to solve real problems — under tight resource constraints, just like in the 1970s.
WHY LEARN ASSEMBLER?
Assembler is the language the machine truly understands. It’s not obsolete — it’s foundational.
Still used in microcontrollers and embedded systems: from home appliances and automotive electronics to medical devices and IoT.
Gives you full control over the hardware— drivers, firmware, DSP, memory, and registers.
Essential for cybersecurity: reverse engineering, malware analysis, hacking, and low-level defense.
Helps you understandhow high-level languages like Java, C++, and Python work under the hood.
Reveals the essence of computation— how bits become intelligence, how stacks, memory, and ALUs operate.
Understand Assembler, and you’ll understand how everything else works.
WHAT CAN ASTRA-256 DO?
8-bit processor with accumulator and visible registers: IP, IN, OUT, SP, FLAGS.
256 bytes of memory — just like the original Altair 8800 released in 1975 with the Intel 8080.
75 instructions grouped by purpose: control flow, data movement, arithmetic, stack, I/O, and more.
Lessons and documentation in five languages — printable, just like in the good old days.
Start with simple programs and progress to complex algorithms: square roots, trigonometry, even mini-games.
ASTRA-256 runs on a custom Assembler designed specifically for this environment. We intentionally offer an extended instruction set — similar to what you’ll find in modern microcontrollers and processors.
It’s a hands-on way to gain foundational experience with low-level hardware logic — the kind that prepares you to work with any modern microcontroller. The principles haven’t changed.
PLAY, LEARN, PROGRAM
Everything you need is built in: editor, debugger, help system.
Everything is real: memory, registers, instructions.
Everything is here to help you understand how computers truly work — not at the interface level, but at the bit level.
Who knows — maybe you’ll be the one to write the program that sends Elon Musk to Mars.
