Apollo 11 Source Code

Oh damn, didnt see this coming. Thx @r4v463

You’re welcome ;) it has been released something like ¾ days ago on github

From some IRC channel yesterday:

*** Sling watching/reading https://hackaday.com/2016/07/05/don-eyles-walks-us-through-the-lunar-module-source-code/
it’s crazy stuff :)
iirc, all that code was also manually wired
like wire through a magnet for 1 and around it for 0 or something
and then somehow keep that stored when going trough radiation belts
and all because of the russians breathing in their necks ;)

“Software written by MIT programmers was woven into core rope memory by female workers in factories.”

Side note re “I don’t know if a lot of you understand assembly”: there isn’t one “assembly” and this one here seems to be a custom one specially designed for the AGC.

@dloser you always take the tiny thing of the post x) I know that there are several assembly, but if you know one assembly, you can more or less understand the others without a lot of problem I think.

You’re a pedantic prick or you’re not… And I definitely am. :P

“More or less”: Could be me, but I have some problems understanding the code. Both the underlying architecture as well as the short-form instructions make it hard to just read other assembly languages. It’s kinda like saying, “if you know one (spoken) language, you can more or less understand the others”. While it might be true for certain classes (e.g. spanish and italian), in general it’s pretty much non-sense. :)

So the different assemblies are much more like languages with the same roots :p ?
