A chip8 interpreter was a project that a lot of interviewers liked on my resume a few years back, obviously this is a few (read: many) levels above that. Good work.

i used a chip8 emu written in c using sdl and a while back no interviewers found it interesting :/ loading a game cart was a mistake i guess

I used CHIP8 (on an RCA COSMAC VIP out "in the garage" bought with money from mowing lawns), would never have put it on my resume ROFL. Big Bad FORTRAN programmers would have looked at it and said "awe...ain't that cute." I did have 1802 assembler on there though. By 1992, at least one interviewer suspected I might be an "Easter Bunny" (not real) before finally meeting me. That's when I started scaling it back a bit (dropping a dozen assemblers, old languages like APL, etc.) I kept scaling it back for decades until eventually it fit on one page, but the people reading it didn't know what they didn't know (citizens of the dystopia) so my resume is only a formality anyway. (I probably should reduce it down to two or three sentences at this point. But back in the day man, I was almost typing (with an actual typewriter, also "out in the garage") in the margins --heh.) Hmm, valid question: How long before LinkedIn is an AI that conducts the entire search and hiring process? Also, WTH are we reading about CHIP8 in 2025 for...it's a dopeass dystopia, that's why. :D
