Show HN: Bedrock – An 8-bit computing system for running programs anywhere
benbridle Thursday, July 10, 2025Hey everyone, this is my latest project.
Bedrock is a lightweight program runtime: programs assemble down to a few kilobytes of bytecode that can run on any computer, console, or handheld. The runtime is tiny, it can be implemented from scratch in a few hours, and the I/O devices for accessing the keyboard, screen, networking, etc. can be added on as needed.
I designed Bedrock to make it easier to maintain programs as a solo developer. It's deeply inspired by Uxn and PICO-8, but it makes significant departures from Uxn to provide more capabilities to programs and to be easier to implement.
Let me know if you try it out or have any questions.
Summary
