The compiler works on C-like code and transforms it to MIPS assembly. I don't have the homework assignments anymore, so take a look at the tests directory for a lot of examples.

If you want to try it out, you're going to need the python ply package as a minimum. If you want to look at the extra goodies I coded up for fun, beyond the homework requirements, then install the pygraphviz package. If you pass in the -graphs flag, then you will get three pngs for every file: an Abstract Syntax Tree, register assignment and variable liveliness (coloring problem), and basic blocks.

If you're like me and you LOVE Sublime Text, then I added a syntax highlighter, preference file for comments, and some snippets for autocompletion. I could have just used the C syntax highlighter, but I wanted to learn how Sublime Text does it, which was kinda fun.
