3D Chip8 emulator
Motivations
I basically wanted to improve my OpenGL (and C++) skills through a fun project. I always wanted to make an emulator, and the Chip8 is a fairly easy one to start with. So why not making the rendering 3D to be able to move "inside" the game.
Here is a small video of what it looks like: video
You can use the mouse and the WASD keys to move. The Chip8 inputs are:
| keys | keys | keys | keys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| R | T | Y | U |
| F | G | H | J |
| V | B | N | M |
Dependencies
All deps should already be bundled inside the project.
The only system libs needed are OpenGL and OpenAL.
Build
This project is using cmake as build system.
Inside the project root:
mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
./chip8_run /path/to/rom
