It's been more than a year since I last worked on this project, but now I'm back with a bunch of news.
Micro now has a Rom Reader chip, along with a GUI for editing roms, which are files that contains a list of numbers that can be accessed by the Rom Reader given an index (the address).
A Keyboard Input chip to detect key presses within the design.
An Ascii Display, with two lines of 8 characters totalling 16 characters on the display.
A Bus, which is a way to connect various different chips and components together on a single shared connection.
Labels to adorn and organize the design.
I also changed the way connections work to make them faster and less lag-inducing, which also improved the loading times of complex chips.
There's probably some others small things that I'm forgetting but those are the main deals for this update.
