Pixie is a toy 16-bit register VM

In plain words

Pixie is a 16-bit register virtual machine designed as a toy project. It simulates computer architecture concepts by emulating a simple processor with 16-bit registers. The project is intended for hobbyists, students, and developers interested in understanding how virtual machines and low-level computing work. Pixie's compact design makes it accessible for learning fundamental concepts in computer science and assembly language programming.
