| The purpose of this Master's Report is to create a software application called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Moon Processor Simulator. The product is supposed to help students taking the Compiler Design course at Concordia University to debug and test assembly code that was handwritten or generated by a compiler generating moon code.; This document starts with describing the reasons and advantages of having a processor emulator to test any assembly language. It then lists specifications and requirements of the project and reasons for choosing the Java programming language for the implementation.; The paper then lists Object Oriented principles and demonstrates how they are applied during program design. The main goal of the project is to create a program that would be useful, easy to use and fast to learn. The paper describes how these objectives are achieved by following usability rules. |
