bin_creator program (part of Rusty-Man Computer) by letting it accept multi-line input, because that's the format you get when you copy memory data from the online LMC simulator. This should make it much more convenient to use (previously, you had to manually remove the newlines). This involved learning how to get the last two digits of a string in Rust, which is a bit more involved than it sounds (I got away with line.chars().rev().take(2).collect::<String>())
I also wrote a script (build_binaries.sh) to use cross to cross-compile my code for 3 different target platforms, and then copy the generated binaries into a single folder to make them easy to upload to GH Releases.
Naturally, I used that script to publish my first release that contains pre-compiled binaries for multiple platforms, which you can read about at github.com/RandomSearch18/rusty_man_computer/releases/tag/v0.4.0
Next, I want to start work on an assembler tool to add to the project :D
cross (Github) to compile the code for various platforms. (Of course, users can still run the Rust compiler themselves if they wish.) This is an important step for distributing my program and making it accessible to more people.
I also added 14 more tests to the code, which test that each individual instruction works correctly. This should make it easy to pin down any regressions during development in the future.
