Yet another CHIP-8 VM implementation ==================================== by trya - [email protected] Some peculiarities: ------------------- - modular and exposing an API to easily reimplement the frontend in pretty much any language or environment possible. - core of the VM is written in C99-compliant C. - SDL frontend is also written in C, but can only compile on Linux at the moment, as it uses the Linux-specific timerfd for timer operations - the interpreter does not limitate the number of instructions per second, so it's up to the frontend to make the interpreter wait during keyboard or display operations. For example, the SDL frontend waits either on vsync or keyboard event. Build instructions: ------------------- $ make Other targets: - clean: remove binaries and object files - chip8_dummy: build dummy executable without any interface (video, audio, keyboard, timers) implemented - chip8_sdl: SDL frontend, needs the latest version of SDL2 Usage: ------ - SDL frontend: $ chip8_sdl rom_file Controls only through keyboard at the moment, the keys are layout-independant (that is, they're at the same location for any PC keyboard). For example, on a QWERTY keyboard, the keys are mapped as: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 C Q W E R ---\ 4 5 6 D A S D F ---/ 7 8 9 E Z X C V A 0 B F Tab key resets the virtual machine.
