- If you want programming games I can highly recommend TIS-100 and SHENZHEN I/O from Zachtronics though mind you after a point you might as well just do your day job :D

- This game gave me a real-life déjà vu. A few months ago, three friends and I spent a long weekend trying to build a Game Boy emulator from scratch in Rust. None of us had ever worked on emulators before—we basically gave ourselves three days to read the docs, figure things out, and ship something. It was chaotic but also educational and an absolute blast. Encouraging anyone that wants to learn a bit more about simple computers and assembly to try that ! If anyone’s curious about what came out of it: https://github.com/chalune-dev/gameboy
- Oh this looks right up my alley, I'll check it out on desktop.

- Such a great game! I got as far as implementing all the CPU instructions and can't wait to get back into it!
- I'm amazed at the amount of work and love that's in this game, that you can play for free. I hope it helps more devs get into the retro scene!

Librewolf latest browser.
- I had some success recently making small hacks for nes/famicom roms using claude despite not having a lick of knowledge about 6502 assembly or the NES hardware, but struggling with doing any more indepth disassembly or code changes, so this popping up is serendipitous - I know what I'm doing this weekend.

- The music and touch of humour reminds me of early adventure games I played. Ahh, nostalgia.
Busy with other things so I'll use the excuse of only programming in the One And Only True Programming Language C (I wish there was a capital version of the capital letter for that) to stop before needing to type one keyword of javascript. :-p
- Game is great! A bit annoying is the use of fake names, but knowing "Neeentendo" an their lawyering practices, this is probably safest route. And it would be amazing if there would be a setting to disable all emojis. They are really overused.

- Ok, this is pretty cool. Though, I should probably wait until I get home from work before diving too deep into it!
- highly recommend. Great soundtrack and a wonderful introduction into ASM without all the complexity of modern day's registers and instructions

- Really slick, thanks for sharing! I haven't dug deep into the menus yet, but I would love a way to increase the text speed.
- This is such a fun experience! The music is fantastic and really throwing me back to another time :)
- I'm having a hard time reading the gray-on-black text. Is there a way to change it?

- So far, so great. A curious 12 year old could handle this.
- The PWA is a nice touch.

- Wow, this is really interesting. I will be playing it this weekend.
"you also need some object-oriented programming knowledge", why is OOP needed to work on emulators? I thought procedural or/and functional would be enough

- I created an account just to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
- Love the music.
Is the music original or is there an artist attached?
- I love it
