🚀 How I Made My Own Binary-Level Code Editor in Python (Like a Mini IDE)

Because sometimes, even machine code deserves its own editor.

"While I'm still learning the intricacies of binary-level programming, this project represents my early exploration into low-level computing and direct machine code manipulation."

🧠 The Spark Behind the Idea

It all started in a Digital Electronics class. While everyone else was writing notes, I was lost in thought — wondering, what if we could write pure binary code directly, like old-school machine instructions?

The lecturer noticed I wasn’t taking notes. He asked what I was doing — I told him I was working on a doubt. He asked what it was. I fired six or seven deep technical questions, one of which was:
“Can we actually code directly in binary like an IDE?”
He didn’t answer. But I did — by building it myself.

💡 The Concept

Most of us write code in high-level languages. But beneath it all, it’s just 1s and 0s.
So I thought — why not skip the layers and go straight to pure binary?
That’s how BIN++ was born:
A Python script that takes binary instructions, converts them into a .COM executable, and lets you run machine-level code on Windows.

🔧 How It Works

• Built using Python

• Takes binary input (e.g., 10110000 01100001)

• Converts it to raw hex using binascii or bytearray

• Creates a .COM file (DOS format)

• You double-click → it runs directly on your PC

# Simple version: binary to .COM file
with open("output.com", "wb") as f:
    f.write(bytearray([int(b, 2) for b in binary_input.split()]))

You can run it in DOSBox, or directly on Windows (if it's 16-bit compatible).

📦 Features

• ✅ Syntax validation for binary input

• 🧑‍💻 Beginner-friendly UI

• 🔄 Auto-export to .COM files

• 📚 Future: Instruction reference panel, memory inspection, virtual CPU

🤯 What I Learned

• How low-level your system actually runs

• How scary simple a COM file is

• That Python can control binary-level output

• The power of building tools for your own crazy ideas

💬 Final Thoughts

This is just the start.
I’m planning to evolve BIN++ into a full binary-level IDE — with assembler integration, memory maps, and maybe even a virtual CPU.
If you’re into systems programming, binary hacking, or building things from scratch — stay tuned.
