Together with two other guys I decided to do a project about digital logic. We had an ambitious plan: building an 8-bits computer.\n\nAt that time I started learning programming and I already knew some HTML and CSS. So we decided to not build a physical computer, but one running in a self-built simulator. I was going to build the simulator, the other guys took care of the computer. \nI was hard, our school hadn't taught us anything about computers and programming so we had to learn everything ourselves.
