MARS -> Logisim asm file generation

Evan Sherrer shared this utility he wrote that can take a program written in MARS and generate encoded MIPS assembly files for the Logisim instruction memory. There are instructions on how to use it in the comments of the .py file. Sample test files have also been provided

• generate-asm.py - the Python script
• cpu-test-program.asm - a sample MIPS assembly file to open in MARS
• mipstest.in - sample file output by MARS for the cpu-test-program.asm file
• mipstest.out - a sample of the output from generate-asm.py run on mipstest.in
