Analyser / Playtime

In collaboration with , I developed a platform for learning computer architecture by experimenting on PDAs. Students could use this tool to compile and de-compile code on the fly, execute their arbitrary test code and examine and alter the contents of memory.

From the Analyser / Playtime Users' Guide:

Analyser and PlayTime together comprise a toolkit for learning about programs and data structures in memory. The two tools run under Windows CE, which provides a portable and accessible environment on which to experiment. Students can inspect and modify all programs on the machine, including portions of the operating system. Because the Windows CE OS is stored in Read-Only Memory, it cannot be corrupted. The system is therefore quite robust, and places no limitations on tinkering.
