Talk Title

Building a Gameboy Emulator in Rust

Brief description of the talk

I've programmed a Gameboy Emulator in Rust and found it to be a really fun side-project. The talk would go into detail on how the emulator works, the technical problems I had to overcome, some of the advantages/disadvantages of using Rust over other languages for this project, and the future of the project. The source code can be found here

Short personal bio about yourself

My name is Benjamin Konz, and I am a Data Engineer at Impact. By day, I write Scala code to detect ad fraud on the Forensiq team. By night, I try to improve my Gameboy Emulator and work on the Jeroo project! Jeroo is a programming learning tool for middle-high school students to help bridge the gap between visual programming and traditional programming languages. It uses OCaml and Typescript to create a brand new programming language learning environment.

@LucioFranco How long should the talk be?

LucioFranco commented 4 years ago

30-45min works, I am planning on having two lighting talks so that means well be done around 9 and it should be good.
