In 2022 you either build yourself an Apple-1 computer (Hello chip shortage) or you let your creative energy flow into a self-built 6502 emulator plus peripherals.

Between these two options there is not so much, if you want to understand in technical detail, how the whole story of colorful pixels on glowing screens at home started at some point back at the end of the 70s.

A competent fellow in the addressed genre named FlyGuy has turned to the second variant in 2019 already, but the project has appeared on our screens only this week: 

Apple-1 in a Shader ... yep. 😳

A 6502 emulation implemented in a shader, extended by the memory map and peripherals of the Apple-1 and implemented on shadertoy.

The unfortunately unknown author is no stranger - at least he was responsible for a similar stroke of genius before. That was a Chip-8 Emulator in a shader.

Quite impressive and directly usable in the browser.
