From the git repo: webMARS is a browser implementation of MARS MIPS 4.5: editor, assembler, simulator, help system, and classic MARS tools in a single web UI. Overview - Single-page IDE for editing, assembling, running, stepping, backstepping, and debugging MIPS programs. - Multi-window desktop/mobile UI with registers, text/data segments, labels, messages, Run I/O, and tool windows. - Built-in help system with localized pages and embedded reference material. - Persistent browser workspace for files, session restore, settings, and tool state. - Single JavaScript assembler and simulator core, with no native runtime dependency. And from [0]: MARS is a lightweight interactive development environment for programming in MIPS assembly language, intended for educational-level use with Patterson and Hennessy's Computer Organization and Design. --- To run the demo program: 1. Run > Compile 1a. In the popup window select 'Open ASM as new file' 2. Run > Assemble, context will change to the 'Execute' tab. 3. Click the little 'Go' button near top-center. 4. ??? 5. Profit! --- [0] https://computerscience.missouristate.edu/mars-mips-simulato...

Awesome, I was working on something similar pre-LLMs, and it was a slog, glad it's getting done.
