A virtual machine transator which translates Hack VM language into Hack assembly code. Completed as part of the nand2tetris part 2 course on Coursera. The Hack software architecture is designed similarily to Java, in which programs written in the high-level language (Jack) are compiled to an intermediary virtual machine code before being translated down to Hack assembly and finally assembled into hack machine code.
To translate a <filename>.vm file or folder containing .vm files into hack assembly, run:
python3 vm_translator.py <relative_path_to_filename>.vm or python3 vm_translator.py <relative_path_to_folder>
The folder may contain other files; the translator will only load .vm files. The output is a single .asm file.
To run test scripts, launch the nand2tetris CPU Emulator, available in the tools directory from the nand2tetris website.
