The MonTana state Mini Computer is a virtual computer intended to show how digital computation works in a fun and visual way.

The MTSC combines ideas from the PDP-11, MIPS, Scott CPU, Game Boy and JVM to make a relatively simple 16-bit computer that can accomplish basic computing tasks.

The computer is displayed via a web interface that includes all the I/O such as console and display, visual representations of the computer state, and a built in code editor to construct and debug software for the computer.
