# z80 assembler This is probably the most critical part of the Collapse OS project. If this app can be brought to completion, it pretty much makes the project a success because it ensures self-reproduction. ## Running on a "modern" machine To be able to develop zasm efficiently, [libz80][libz80] is used to run zasm on a modern machine. The code lives in `emul` and ran be built with `make`, provided that you have a copy libz80 living in `emul/libz80`. The resulting `zasm` binary takes asm code in stdin and spits binary in stdout.
