Dependencies

github.com/go-gl/gl/v2.1/gl
github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.1/glfw
github.com/gordonklaus/portaudio

The portaudio-go dependency requires PortAudio on your system:

To build portaudio-go, you must first have the PortAudio development headers and libraries installed. Some systems provide a package for this; e.g., on Ubuntu you would want to run apt-get install portaudio19-dev. On other systems you might have to install from source.

On Mac, you can use homebrew:

brew install portaudio

Installation

The go get command will automatically fetch the dependencies listed above, compile the binary and place it in your $GOPATH/bin directory.

go get github.com/fogleman/nes

Usage

nes [rom_file|rom_directory]

If no arguments are specified, the program will look for rom files in the current working directory.

If a directory is specified, the program will look for rom files in that directory.

If a file is specified, the program will run that rom.

For 1 & 2, the program will display a menu screen to select which rom to play. The thumbnails are downloaded from an online database keyed by the md5 sum of the rom file.

Controls

Joysticks are supported, although the button mapping is currently hard-coded. Keyboard controls are indicated below.

Nintendo	Emulator
Up, Down, Left, Right	Arrow Keys
Start	Enter
Select	Right Shift
A	Z
B	X
A (Turbo)	A
B (Turbo)	S
Reset	R

Mappers

The following mappers have been implemented:

• NROM (0)
• MMC1 (1)
• UNROM (2)
• CNROM (3)
• MMC3 (4)
• AOROM (7)

These mappers cover about 85% of all NES games. I hope to implement more mappers soon. To see what games should work, consult this list:

Known Issues

• there are some minor issues with PPU timing, but most games work OK anyway
• the APU emulation isn't quite perfect, but not far off

What's new in the go 1.15

Go announced Go 1.15 version on 11 Aug 2020. Highlighted updates and features include Substantial improvements to the Go linker, Improved allocation for small objects at high core counts, X.509 CommonName deprecation, GOPROXY supports skipping proxies that return errors, New embedded tzdata package, Several Core Library improvements and more.

As Go promise for maintaining backward compatibility. After upgrading to the latest Go 1.15 version, almost all existing Golang applications or programs continue to compile and run as older Golang version.

Secure HTTPS servers in Go

In this article, we are going to look at some of the basic APIs of the http package to create and initialize HTTPS servers in Go.

(source: unsplash.com)

In the “Simple Hello World Server” lesson, we learned about net/http package, how to create routes and how [ServeMux](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#ServeMux) works. In the “Running multiple HTTP servers” lesson, we learned about [Server](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server) structure and how to run multiple HTTP servers concurrently.

In this lesson, we are going to create an HTTPS server using both Go’s standard server configuration and custom configuration (using [_Server_](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server) structure). But before this, we need to know what HTTPS really is?

HTTPS is a big topic of discussion in itself. Hence while writing this lesson, I published an article just on “How HTTPS works?”. I advise you to read this lesson first before continuing this article. In this article, I’ve also described the encryption paradigm and SSL certificates generation process.

---

If we recall the simplest HTTP server example from previous lessons, we only need http.``[ListenAndServe](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#ListenAndServe) function to start an HTTP server and http.``[HandleFunc](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#HandleFunc) to register a response handler for a particular endpoint.

(https://play.golang.org/p/t3sOenOYAzS)

In the example above, when we run the command go run server.go , it will start an HTTP server on port 9000. By visiting http://localhost:9000 URL in a browser, you will be able to see a Hello World! message on the screen.

(http://localhost:9000)

As we know, the nil argument to ListenAndServe() call invokes Go to use the [DefaultServeMux](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#DefaultServeMux) response multiplexer, which is the default instance of ServeMux structure provided globally by the Go. The HandleFunc() call adds a response handler for a specific route on the multiplexer instance.

The http.ListenAndServe() call uses the Go’s standard HTTP server configuration, however, in the previous lesson, how we can customize a server using [Server](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server) structure type.

To start an HTTPS server, all we need do is to call ServerAndListenTLS method with some configuration. Just like ServeAndListen method, this method is available on both the http package and the Server structure.

The http.``[ServeAndListenTLS](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#ListenAndServeTLS) method uses the Go’s standard server implementation, however, both [Server](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server) instance and Server.``[ServeAndListenTLS](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server.ListenAndServeTLS) method can be configured for our needs.

Go-web-workshop: Build Web Applications with Go on App Engine

Building Web Applications with Go

Welcome, gopher! You're not a gopher? Well, this workshop is for gophers, or people that use the Go programming language. But fear not if you've never written any Go before! I'd recommend you learn the basics for the language first with the Go tour.

This workshop has been run a couple of times with an instructor leading. The goal of this repo is to make it as easy as possible for individuals to follow the content by themselves. If you get stuck at any point, feel free to file issues asking questions.

Setting up your workspace

To go through this you will need the following:

1. You have installed the Go Programming Language.
2. You have set up a GOPATH by following the How to Write Go Code tutorial.
3. You are somewhat familiar with the basics of Go. (The Go Tour is a pretty good place to start)
4. You have a Google account and you have installed the Google Cloud SDK.

Contents

There's a lot to say about how to build web applications, in Go or any other language. But we only have one day so we won't try to cover too much. Instead we'll cover the basics, so you'll be able to explore other solutions and frameworks later.

The workshops is divided in eleven sections:

• 0: Hello world
• 1: Web Clients
• 2: Web servers
• 3: Input validation and status codes
• 4: Deploying to App Engine
• 5: Hello, HTML
• 6: JSON encoding and decoding
• 7: Durable storage with Cloud Datastore
• 8: Retrieving remote resources with urlfetch
• 9: What is Memcache and how to use it from App Engine
• 10: Congratulations!

Resources

These are places where you can find more information for Go:

• golang.org
• godoc.org, where you can find the documentation for any package.
• The Go Programming Language Blog

My favorite aspect of Go is its community, and you are now part of it too. Welcome!

As a newcomer to the Go community you might have questions or get blocked at some point. This is completely normal, and we're here to help you. Some of the places where gophers tend to hang out are:

• The Go Forum
• #go-nuts IRC channel at Freenode
• Gophers’ community on Slack (signup here for an account).
• @golang and #golang on Twitter.
• Go+ community on Google Plus.
• Go user meetups
• golang-nuts mailing list
• Go community Wiki
