Ken’s Integrated Simpletron Suite (KISS)
Ken’s Integrated Simpletron Suite (KISS) is based on a problem in C: How to Program, by Harvey Deitel, in which students are instructed to write programs for a computer called the Simpletron. The Simpletron runs programs written only in the language it understands, the Simpletron Machine Language (SML). It is meant to emulate (and educate about) programming in assembly. KISS is a freeware Spectrum script and requires Spectrum v2.0 or later.
This program placed second at HackFest at KansasFest 2001 due to its “high geek factor”.
