This is great! I've read up on "chasing the beam" and how programming for the 2600 is unlike any other console. Always wanted to try my hand at it but didn't want to go through all the steps. This essentially eliminates the barrier to entry. Definitely will check it out. Thanks!
I can personally recommend Montfort & Bogost's book: Racing the Beam for this exact topic :)

#32Enjoying the attention this is getting! It's been fun making it and learning the VCS tricks of the trade. I'd like to credit a couple of projects that it depends on, Javatari by Paulo Augusto Peccin ( http://javatari.org/ ) and DASM by Peter King and others ( http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~pjbk/scholar/dasm.html ). Oh yeah and Codemirror ( https://codemirror.net/ ).

Please, when possible, update to the latest version (0.92), and always check for updates.
A "Powered by Javatari" crediting on your page with a link to the emulator website would also be great! ;-)

#35Now do the same for the Z80 and the Spectrum :D ORG 40000 LD HL, 50000 LD DE, 16384 LD BC, 2016 LDIR RET END 40000
I can almost remember well enough to be sure, but not entirely!

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
We already have, it's called Wayland.
I didn't know Wayland now supports displays/controls over TCP? That was anyways the parent commenter's point I think.
Ah, yeah. The design of Wayland is such that compositors have to implement it -- because Wayland doesn't know enough about the state of the desktop to be able to efficiently relay the information (it would be like VNC).
