I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator in my own programming language
https://github.com/navid-m/chip8emuArticle
- Developer built a CHIP-8 emulator using their own language, Spectre
- Spectre is a contract-based low-level language focused on correctness
- Project has 400k+ LOC and 900+ commits in under 3 weeks
Discussion
- Commenters praise the clean README as refreshingly free of AI slop
- Skepticism raised: 400k LOC in 3 weeks suggests heavy AI code generation
- Fun suggestion to write the language inside the emulator inside itself
