Schip8

A library with the aim to provide a simple CHIP-8 interpreter backend that can integrate into any graphics library or renderer of your choosing.

Examples

• Macroquad

Quickstart

This is a basic skeleton of how to start implementing a frontend. It's recommended to use the [anyhow] crate as well. ```rust use schip8::Chip8; use anyhow::{Context, Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> { let mut chip = Chip8::default();

// The load_file function needs to be implemented
let file = load_file("roms/TETRIS")?;    
chip.load_rom(&file).context("Loading ROM file")?;

// Use the frontend to make this loop run at 60 Hz
loop {
    // Process input
    // ...

    chip.tick().context("Interpreter tick")?;

    // Render screen - check the examples for scaling demo 
    for y in 0..chip.screen.height {
        for x in 0..chip.screen.width {
            if chip.screen.get_pixel(x, y) {
                // Draw
            }
        }
    }

    // Reset with chip.reset() if reset key is pressed

    if chip.should_play_sound() {
        // Play a tone
    } 
}

} ```
