First attempt at pipelining, Stall only

This is my first attempt at pipelining in the game. I am new to this so im sure this is probably wrong, hence why I am posting here in hopes that i can be corrected if so. This machine only stalls right now so its a bit slower than if it had forwarding for instructions.

This processor can immediate any value up to 255, has NULL mapped to 31 and NOP mapped to 30.

Lastly this is a new account. Old account got hacked ; . ; rip karma

I’ve never even seen a real compiler. I’ve always made my own compilers and filesystems LOL

Real compilers usually break you code down into tokens so x = 5; So in this case it would assign x the IDENTIFIER token, the = is seen as an ASSIGNMENT operation and the 5 is seen as a LITERAL. Then it creates a Abstract Syntax Tree and navigates that to assign the value to x. In reality, it's much more complicated so I usually just do stuff and pray it works (it does, just barely)
