uxn-rust

tal

tal is an uxn assembler (equivalent to uxnasm).

Goals

1. Produce identical ROMs for all valid .tal files.
2. Produce useful error messages for all invalid .tal files.
3. Have some fun with Rust.

"Valid .tal file" means any .tal file for which uxnasm produces a ROM file. "Invalid .tal file" means any .tal file for which uxnasm does not produce a ROM file.

Sample error output:

% ./target/debug/tal tal/tests/roms/projects/library/load-rom.tal output.rom
tal/tests/roms/projects/library/load-rom.tal:13: Error: unknown name "File/name"

        .File/name DEO2
        ^^^^^^^^^^
