Shouldn't have waited until the night before...

What are we using to write the assembly code? Spim doesn't appear to
have an assembly environment like LC3edit, and the MIPS SPE "on the
disk" won't download from the internet. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

spimx is a MIPS emulator that runs on the x11 windows system (nix or os x)
I believe they have spim for windows as well

First, I meant MIPS SDE (typo)...

I installed spim, that part makes sense. My question is: what assembler are
we using to convert our assembly code into object files? Is there something
that I missed? I don't see anything in the spim documentation other than
"load your file...", which isn't much help if you don't yet have a file to
load...

Jacob - thanks for your quick response!

The simulator accepted my assembly code that was written in Notepad, of
all things, so some generic text editor should serve your purposes fine.

Thanks, Archit! What file extension did you use when saving the text file?
Is it .asm or just .txt?

.asm. SPIM won't load .txt files. :P
