Loading the generated ROM in an emulator #31

Open ikarth opened 4 years ago

ikarth commented 4 years ago

Once we can generate ROMs by invoking the compiler directly from Python (#30) the next step is to send it to an emulator for automatic playtesting.

We're currently planning on using PyBoy. In theory we should be able to tell it to open generated ROM and play it.

[x] be able to run PyBoy from the pipeline code (adding it as a dependency?)
[x] have PyBoy load the ROM we generated
[x] have PyBoy follow a series of button presses that it reads from a text file
[x] have PyBoy run for a bit and make sure the game doesn't crash
