zig-chip8

A CHIP-8 emulator written in Zig.

Status

This is intended as a learning exercise to get familiar with Zig. The code is still a bit rough, but my intention is improving it iteratively as I become more familiar with the language.

The emulator is already able to run properly most programs, demos and games I've found.

• Zig version 0.10.0
• SDL2 and SDL_mixer development headers (SDL2-devel and SDL2_mixer-devel in Fedora)

Building

zig build
