Using an AI coding agent with oracle-based testing to build a game emulator
The article discusses the author's journey of creating a game emulator using an AI coding agent. It highlights the challenges faced during the development process and the importance of using a test oracle for validation. The author reflects on their early experiences with computing devices and how they inspired this project.
- ▪The author aimed to build a game emulator from scratch due to issues with existing emulators breaking on OS updates.
- ▪They utilized a test oracle to validate their new code against a trusted reference implementation.
