Apologize if this has been dealt with separately and individual links. I am very excited for this class and have tried to begin with Hardware Simulator problem solution.
Unfortunately, downloading the software suite to EITHER Mac OS X 10.8.5 OR Windows 7 Professional SP1 yields the same bug/issue in the Hardware Simulator on my end. Namely, the horizontal scrolling in the HDL window doesn't work properly and alot of the code/comments are truncated/unreadable. Appears to me that I cannot really proceed with the problem sets and am missing information - especially as the chips get more complex.
I'm also concerned that if there's bugs this early in the situation - noting my hardware setup, that I'm going to encounter further problems throughout the course.
I checked many of the forums and it sounds like there are some complicated workarounds, code snippets to fix the source code and recompile from JDK - all of which is not necessarily something that I understand or am clear on best solution, given the variety of different responses/comments.
So, is there an update software suite to download and install - either from the Nand2Tetris authors - or from a user, who has compiled all of the various bug fixes and published a patch/revision to the suite? I don't think I'm the only user experiencing these problems. Perhaps maintained somewhere on a 3rd party website or Github?
Please advise. I'm candidly overwhelmed by the nature of the comments in the forum and looking for a clear next step/solution.
Any advice/feedback would be much appreciated.
