Richard Suchenwirth 2013-12-01 - Last night on the Tclers' Chat, stu challenged me to write a visual emulator for TAL. Challenge accepted, after some 3 hours here is (another iteration of) the initial code that managed to step (with the <Down> key) through the TAL code emulating hypot. A day later, the "Run" button was also enabled to, well, run the code (waiting 500 ms between steps, so one can visually follow somewhat), and stop at breakpoints where set.On top you can enter a proc (with fixed name "f"), hit <Return> to get its body dis- and reassembled.In the main window at left you see the TAL source code (ready to assemble, hopefully) in black, while the disassemble code is added as comments in red (just in case dis2asm did something wrong). The yellow highlighting marks the code that will be executed next. The window is editable, and "what you see is what is executed", because the code to execute is fetched directly before execution from the highlighted line.On the right the local variables are displayed (you can edit their values), and below that the current stack.
Of the 130 TAL instructions, about 50 have been implemented so far (see the function vtal.eval below). The underlying idea is that you will also be able to edit the displayed TAL source, and run it again... lots of bells and whistles in planning...Following is the evening edition for 2013-12-03. New feature: set a breakpoint by right-clicking, shows this stop sign 
. Delete a breakpoint just like a character :^) It took me a while to get it correct, but finally.. just 10 extra LOC! That's certainly worth it ;^)Disclaimer: While the real TAL assembler implements beginCatch and endCatch, this emulator doesn't yet, so no catch here for the time being... Also missing: dict instructions (will come), array instructions (more difficult, as variables are now managed in an array - needs redesign...), TclOO, coroutine...For the moment, just consider this an educational tool for a subset of Tcl :^) I'll keep the latest tal.tcl on that page, so you don't need to stitch it together from the various dis2asm pages.
