Chip8 Emulator

What?

• Yet another chip8 emulator in rust
• We are using Raylib so you need to build libraylib.a and put it under a newly created raylib/ dir.
  • to build Raylib check the official raylib.
  • if you want to put it elsewhere you will need to modify build.rs
• To run it: cargo run -- <ROMS>
  • See Timendus Chip8 test suite to have some ROMS
• For more logs set RUST_LOG=debug (or info, ...)

Notes

• We are using hw randr to generate random number
  • So it only works on x86_64
• Changelog
