C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Hello fellow developers! I’m new to this community and I am interested in learning more about you all, I have a simple question what is your favorite personal project that you have developed in the C programming language? It doesn’t have to be something mind blowing or extremely complex just something that you’ve enjoyed developing.

A Game Boy emulator is what I want to do next in that realm. I’ve done a CHIP-8 emulator/interpreter, but as you said, the actual games that run on it aren’t too great. I feel Game Boy is a logical next step. Either Game Boy or NES.

I haven't personally written a NES emulator but I have a friend who did and it seemed like a comparable level of difficulty to the GB. It did sound like emulating the cartridge hardware was harder because games didn't tell you what they used (compared to GB where a cart tells your that info in the header), but I'm guessing you can cover most games by only implementing a small subset of the options anyway.
