I like this project, and really appreciate that there's a Linux version. Looks very polished, friendly and inviting, so kudos.

Maybe some code samples could be a good addition.

I used a similar program to learn assembly, GNUSim8085, targeting the Intel 8085 architecture and is packaged for most distros.

To be able to use VisUAL, your system must be compatible with the Java 8 Runtime Environment

Theoretically it should run on any platform with a JVM, although the lack of a JAR download (as well as 32-bit Windows) is a little odd.

Edit: I can confirm that the 64-bit Windows download consists of mostly a 64-bit JRE (56MB) and a JAR (<5MB), the latter of which works on 32-bit Windows too.

Yes, I realized after a while that it was in fact a Java application since context menus have the default Java look and feel.
