Hi, I started learning Rust about a month ago, and this is my second project. I’m working on the Corewar project, and I’m a bit confused about how to actually simulate a virtual machine in code.

I’ve done nand2tetris part one before, but I still don’t feel like I really understand the core ideas of building a VM. I’ve tried looking for resources, but most of what I find are either 1000-page books or full code dumps, and neither of those really click with me.

Are there any beginner-friendly resources (articles, videos, or short guides) that explain how to think about simulating a VM, preferably in a way that could help me apply it while learning Rust?

Thanks!
