About

This is my attempt at making a Chip-8 emulator in rust. Chip-8 is apparantly the "Hello, World!" of emulators.

Features

• Implements all (original) CHIP-8 instructions
• A simple commandline tool to launch the emulator, with optional configuration

File Structure

• src/
  • main.rs: Entry point for the application. Contains code to interface with the GUI library.
  • lib.rs: Implementation of the CHIP-8 Emulator.
  • structs.rs: Contains all other structs used, including QOL and multi-threading ones.
  • helpers.rs: Helper functions.
• roms/
  • tests: ROMs to test the implementation of the emulator. Taken from https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite
  • games/: Games :-)

PS: I think I overcommented the code a bit
