norbert_kehrer Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi, like before with Asteroids and Astro Fighter, I made an automatized port of the original arcade game Centipede to JavaScript (with the HTML5 Canvas element). Centipede was written back in 1980 by Atari Inc. My JavaScript version was again created by applying the method of static binary translation to the original binary program code. The program code originally written in the machine language of the 6502 CPU of the Centipede machine was converted in a one-to-one manner to JavaScript. The translation was automized by a Prolog program, which generates semantically equivalent JavaScript code for each 6502 instruction and applies some optimization techniques to the generated program (e.g., removal of redundant flag calculations). The outcome is an exact simulation of the original arcade game. Here is the link to the game: http://members.aon.at/nkehrer/centipede_js.html And here is a screenshot: Have fun!

BdR Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Technically this is pretty impressive. So it's almost like an emulator, but not quite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
