my gameboy emulator vs the hardware she tells me not to worry about
Finally made it!
We emulate the Tetris ROM's machine code which instructs us to copy stuff from the ROM to video RAM (specifically the background map and tile map) and we now have the right code to synthesize the results into an image. =)
Next stop: button input to tell it to go to the next screen.
@rx whatcha making this in?
@loam in rust, with my friend. the code is here: https://github.com/wez470/Rustboy
@rx ill keep it in mind if i ever gotta go a bit lower-level than usual! right now i'm floating off in nodejs land usually
@loam it fits into the same niche as c++ (high performance, no garbage collection) but unlike c++ it's safe from memory corruption
imo it's also a lot more convenient and fun
