This repository contains a toy implementation of an emulator for the CHIP8 platform. It aims to be cross-platform for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Graphics are implemented using the excellent raylib library.

This project is still in early development and probably rather buggy. It was mostly created for me to learn and experiment with writing emulators.

Dependencies

• raylib 2.5.0

On macOS, this can be installed from Homebrew.

brew install raylib

On Windows, you can get raylib from their GitHub page

The MinGW compiler is currently the only compiler supported by this project.

Linux has not been tested yet, but probably similar to macOS.

The project uses the CMake build system. I personally use CLion for development on the project.

The project can be built with the following commands (macOS):

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
