The author of the emulator is Robert C. Martin, author of the book Clean Code.
The emulator comes along with the 4K FORTRAN compiler and the Fortran OS (I guess this was previously called the “object time system”).

Here is a screenshot from the video on editing and compiling an assembly program:
The tape punch and reader are faithful. The emulator also includes sound effects and flashing of lights on the front panel.
Another interesting program for the PDP-8 was FOCAL (acronym for FOrmula CALculator), an interactive and interpreted programming language. Quoting from the Banking Automation book:
… FOCAL, a conversational language developed by Digital to allow anyone, including computer novices, to write programs with simple English commands and queries.
Interestingly, LFortran attempts to fill a similar gap today, in allowing novices to transition from interactive work to compiled programs.
Novices and experts.
