This repo is a WIP implementation of the CHIP-8 in Odin.

As of the time of this writing (4/14/24), the emulator has just enough instructions to run the IBM logo test (included).

This project utilizes Raylib for windowing and drawing.

Rendering and emulation are implemented as separate threads with the pixel buffer data being sent from the "core" to the render thread over a sync/chan (similar to goroutine channels).

The pixel buffer is represented as a two dimensional array of booleans ([32][64]bool) to match the native resolution of the CHIP-8. This resolution gets upscaled 16x at draw time in the render thread.

Pressing q will close the program.
