Those who enjoy this might also enjoy "Creating a NES emulator in C++11" [0] [1] [2] while not short in bytes of code(space) there is a nice video series short in minutes(time). Bisqwit takes you on a 30 minute tool assisted coding journey of making an NES emulator and also provides a 15 minute followup Q&A video explaining different aspects.

Bisqwit's nesemu1 source is 940 lines at https://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/kuvat/programming_examples/nesemu1/nesemu1.cc https://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/kuvat/programming_examples/nese... It also uses SDL. NES emulation is a great low level programming project and the tradition will probably continue for some time.

To save you a click, the video is someone speed-typing the source code to an emulator, with no commentary or explanation. You'd probably be better off reading the final result yourself.

Q) Is the video sped up? Or, is that your real typing speed? A) No, it's not sped up. But the input is pre-choreographed. The computer implements the choreography, as well as designs a part of it. It is a TAS, except I'm not speedrunning; I'm just aiming for 15 minutes and to utilize it in the most entertaining manner. My typing speed is not the focus of that video; it is not even being presented except in a small part of the 2/2 video. The focus is in the source code. He actually wrote his own editor that he uses in the video and I believe that assists with the choreography.

    Yes, my point wasn't at all about the speed. You can replace "speed-typing" with "displaying at a speed too high to read, much less think about".
