In a dedicated attempt to show just how far the programming language Javascript has developed since its launch in Netscape Navigator 2.0 during September 1995, Imran Nazar is building a Game Boy emulator entirely from JavaScript.
JavaScript has been thought of as a special-purpose language predominately designed for use by web sites enabling dynamic interaction. However with the recent introduction of the <canvas> tag to HTML, the question arises as to whether a JavaScript program is capable of emulating a system.
Is it possible to emulate the Commodore 64, GameBoy Advance and other gaming consoles? Imran Nazar is hoping to find out.
