Mouse, the Language
Last changed on Saturday, December 21, 2019
Mouse is a tiny stacked-based language created by Peter Grogono in 1979. His book, "MOUSE: A LANGUAGE FOR microcomputers" (PETROCELLI BOOKS, INC.) is the definitive reference on this language.
This tutorial should give you enough information so you can write and run programs in this very interesting language.
Note: The following is what I do to get into my development environment. I use Peter Schorn's Altair 8800 (Z80) simulator.
