CPU AS A PROGRAM

Project description

⚙️ CAAP (CPU As A Program)

PyPI Downloads

🧠 A simple virtual CPU that executes custom assembly-like instructions inside Python.

CAAP is a lightweight interpreter that simulates a basic CPU.
It lets you run simple text-based instructions like SET and MOV to manipulate variables, just like a minimal processor.


🚀 Features

  • 🧠 Simple CPU-like instruction system
  • ⚡ Fast and lightweight (pure Python)
  • 📦 No external dependencies
  • 🧪 Easy to extend with new commands
  • 🎮 Great for learning interpreters and CPU concepts
  • 👀 CAAP provides a low-level memory system to read and write external process memory using powerful pointer-based access.
  • 🔥 It supports multi-backend control (ctypes & pymem), dynamic pointer chains, and future tools like scanners and value freezing.

📥 Installation

pip install caap

🧑‍💻 Basic Usage

from caap import cpu

cpu = cpu()
@cpu.scommand("SET")
def function(a,b):
    cpu.varb[a] = b
@cpu.scommand("MOV")
def func(a,b):
    cpu.varb[a] = cpu.varb[b]

code = """
SET A, 10
SET B, 20
MOV C, A
"""

result = cpu.run(code)

print(cpu.varb)

📊 Output

{'A': 10, 'B': 20, 'C': 10}

👨‍💻 pointers usage

from caap import cpu

cpu = cpu()

f = cpu.pointers("pymem")

game = f.Pointer("minecraft.exe")

game.set_value("health123",value=999999,type="int")

print(game.get_value("health123"))

📊 Output

999999

📦 Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this section.


🚀 Version 0.0.5 ( latest )

✨ Added

  • Added external process memory modification support (read/write to other applications)
  • Added ctypes backend address auto-normalization (string → hex int)
  • backends for external process memory modification ( pymem , ctypes )
  • Improved memory write stability with pointer handling
  • Better error handling for invalid memory addresses
  • Added support for stable pointer-chain resolution, allowing memory values to stay accurate even after restarting the target program.

🛠️ Fixed

  • Fixed crash when passing hex string addresses (e.g. "00D6FCDC")
  • Fixed ctypes pointer conversion errors in write operations

⚡ Improved

  • More stable memory backend behavior
  • Cleaner internal address processing pipeline
  • Reduced user-side input restrictions for addresses

⚙️ Supported Instructions

Instruction Description
SET A, value Assign a value to a variable
MOV A, B Copy value from variable B into A

🧠 How It Works

CAAP reads each line of text, splits it into commands, and executes it using an internal memory system (like CPU registers).

Each variable acts like a register inside a virtual CPU.


🔥 More Examples

📌 Example 1: Simple Math Storage

SET X, 5
SET Y, 15
MOV Z, X

Output:

{'X': 5, 'Y': 15, 'Z': 5}

📌 Example 2: Overwriting Values

SET A, 100
SET B, 50
MOV A, B

Output:

{'A': 50, 'B': 50}

🎮 Projects You Can Build With CAAP

🧮 1. Mini Calculator Engine
