I finally figured out how to implement an ALU hdl file, but I ran into several problems in the nand2tetris environment while working through it. I searched posts for help with the problems, but did not find answers, so I'm asking about those issues here. I'm sorry if I overlooked the answers, and again, I did get my ALU working so it's not critical to me anymore, but I'm curious about these things:
When I run the online interactive IDE, I can load a test file named ALU-Basic.tst, but it will not run because it does not contain these lines:
load ALU-basic.hdl,
output-file ALU-basic.out,
compare-to ALU-basic.cmp,
The IDE says it is a read-only editor, and I cannot edit the file in the IDE. I can create the test file in another editor, but I cannot get the IDE to navigate to the other folder where I put my corrected test file. Indeed, I cannot find where the IDE keeps its test files, so I can't get it to load mine.
Hence, I tired working with the Desktop IDE. I could load my ALU-Basic.tst file, but I had the same problem that many other people had, not being able to scroll the IDE windows horizontally. I saw posts with purported solutions, but when I tried to follow this link from a post:
http://nand2tetris-questions-and-answers-forum.32033.n3.nabble.com/Fix-Horizontal-Scroll-in-Subwindows-td124410.htmlmy browser can't find that site.
I saw comments about modifying HackGUI.jar, but when I double click on it, my Java (v1.8.0_431) on Windows 11 says "Invalid or corrupt jarfile".
If anyone has any suggestions that might bring me some closure on these questions ;) I'd be happy to hear them, thanks!
