What is EmuDevz?

This free, single-player programming simulation tasks you with preserving old console games after a cyberattack destroys the Internet. You follow a guide to write a JavaScript emulator, implementing its processor, graphics, and sound using an in-game editor, tests, and a debugger. You can also work through an interactive assembly tutorial and play homebrew games to unlock ROMs.

For you if...

+you enjoy learning how retro console hardware works

Not for you if...

−you need programming lessons that start with the basics
−you want standalone puzzles instead of a guided coding project
