#chirp 🐣

This is a simple CHIP-8 interpreter I built with the intention of learning the the ways of hardware emulation (although CHIP-8 is merely an interpreter, not a piece of hardware).

#Dependencies

The display of the interpreter depends on SDL, so you may have to install

pacman -S sdl2

with this you are good to go.

#Playing a game

All games I tested are present in the games/ directory. In order to play one of them, you can simply run

cargo run games/name_of_the_game

You can also provide the path of another game you may have downloaded.
