- Update 0.1.6 - 31 August 2026
Hey everyone, today's update introduces a new Include directive for inserting code from other projects into your program, allowing you to reuse projects as libraries.This update also completes the set of input methods with keyboard input and adds character literals to make it easy to check for specific key codes. Check out the full list of changes below.MISAAdd an Include directive supporting recursive includes.Implement virtual paths to facilitate referencing files from other projects.Add keyboard input.Add character literals.UIGrab input focus when clicking anywhere in the Terminal tab.In the Code Analysis tab, show a message indicating that no problems have been detected.ManualAdd diagrams to the references for complex Bit Manipulation instructions to visually explain how they operate.Add an Appendix chapter with an ASCII Table and a Shortcuts page.In the references for SYS_GET_*_DEL…
- Patch 0.1.5 - 6 August 2026
This is a small patch addressing a regression introduced in the previous update (0.1.4).AssemblerFix an issue where providing an argument of the incorrect type in the embed and reserve directives causes an Internal Assembler Error instead of reporting a type-checking error.
- Update 0.1.4 - 3 August 2026
This update introduces a frequently requested feature: the manual in PDF form. You can now take the Mnemonimov documentation with you and study it outside the game.Besides the manual, this update includes mouse input for creating programs with a GUI, type-checking of immediate operands, and a small QoL improvement by disabling the redundant quit confirmation when there are no unsaved changes.ManualInclude a PDF version of the manual with the game and add a command for opening the containing directory.MISAImplement mouse input.AssemblerImplement type checking for immediate instruction operands.Fix an issue where the assembler fails to report that a program exceeds the size limit of 1 GiB.UIAdd a setting for adjusting when the game should ask for quit confirmation: always, with unsaved changes (new default), and never.
- Update 0.1.3 - 11 July 2026
Hey everyone, today's update introduces support for CLI programs with the addition of terminal input, and enables printing on the same line with the new printing system call variants.This update also makes debugging easier with the introduction of exceptions that report invalid target addresses in Control Flow instructions, preventing hard-to-catch issues like accidentally jumping to an arbitrary memory address due to a missing pop instruction before a return.MISA(compatibility change) Rename the printing system calls to SYS_PRINT_LINE_* and introduce variants that do not append a newline.Implement terminal input, enabling the creation of CLI programs.VMIn Control Flow instructions, throw an exception if the target address does not point to a known instruction, making it considerably easier to catch control flow issues that lead to data being executed as code.ManualIn the Machine Model…
- Update 0.1.2 - 20 June 2026
This update expands MISA with 11 new instructions that cover two important use cases: function pointers and unsigned arithmetic. It also brings several bug fixes across the VM, Code Editor, and Terminal.Note that this update introduces a compatibility change, as the fsgn instruction now outputs a float. This means that when opening an existing project, you will be presented with the Compatibility Change Report. It highlights any compatibility changes that may affect your project and helps you bring it up to date with the current MISA specification.MISA(compatibility change) Modify the fsgn instruction to output a float instead of an integer.Add pa-relative variants of branching instructions: cala, jmpa, jtra, jfsa.Add unsigned variants of arithmetic instructions where signedness affects the result: mlhu, divu, remu, minu, maxu, clpu.Add a fma instruction, an integer variant of ffma.VMAd…
- Update 0.1.1 - 6 June 2026
Hey everyone, it's been about a week since Mnemonimov released in Early Access, and I've just pushed its first update. It focuses on bug fixes and improvements to the Manual. Below you'll find the full list of changes.TerminalFix delete command briefly freezing the game and making it prone to crash afterward.Fix traceback command crashing the game when the stack is corrupted.Improve the traceback command with messages for when the stack trace cannot be printed, and specify that the most recent calls are listed first.Add a copyoutput command to copy the terminal output to the clipboard.VMFix an issue where vector instructions fail silently with a range of 32 registers.Add specific exceptions for non-positive memory/storage access lengths, instead of handling this generically with the out-of-bounds exceptions.Code EditorFix breakpoints being cleared on save.UIAdd drag handle icons to tabs…

- Beta Sign-Ups Are Open! - 9 December 2025
Hey everyone,Today I have news about the beta! Beta testing will begin in mid-January, starting with a small sample of testers and gradually increasing over time.For Mnemonimov’s playtesting I’ll follow the same approach that I used for Virtual Circuit Board, which was very effective for gathering feedback and catching bugs. This will be a closed beta with all the communication, feedback, and bug reporting taking place in the Mnemonimov Discord, so joining the community is essential for participating. If you want to apply for the beta, please fill out the sign-up form linked below.Beta Sign-Up FormMnemonimov DiscordThanks in advance to everyone who wants to help test the game!
