For
Apollo history and computer-simulation enthusiasts
Worth noticing
The emulated Block II computer runs at 85,333 memory cycles per second and exposes DSKY lamps, digits, and alarm codes.

Field notes

The page says the browser assembles the source into 36 banks of core rope before execution. Its guide explains how to key commands into the DSKY with the keyboard or by tapping controls, and says lamps and digits reflect the software through the same I/O channels used by the real hardware. Source links point to GitHub, with credits to the Virtual AGC project.
