A JavaScript Gameboy Emulator, Detailed In 8 Parts 62

Two9A writes "JavaScript has shed its image of being a limited language, tied to DOM manipulation in a browser; in recent years, new engines and frameworks have given JS a reputation as a language capable of bigger things. Mix this in with the new elements of HTML5, and you have the capacity to emulate a game console or other system, with full graphical output. This series of articles looks in detail at how an emulator is written in JavaScript, using the example of the Gameboy handheld: starting at the CPU, and (as of part 8) running a copy of Tetris."

Tracking could be efficiently done in a system such as a mall or subway with exit monitoring.

That's already the case in Brussels public transport. We have to use RFID cards to check in before stepping in a bus, tramway or metro, and the STIB/MIVB (the Brussels public transport service) said they could handle the date to the police if they wanted to know where some people was at a certain time.
