Clarify ambiguity re: sound timer in wiki #7

Closed Keating950 closed 4 years ago

Keating950 commented 4 years ago

The technical reference on the wiki currently reads:

The sound timer provides CHIP-8's only facility for sound output. When the sound timer's value is non-zero, a tone will be emitted from the system's speaker.

I think changing that "when" to "while" would be a little less ambiguous, and clarify that the beep lasts until the timer reaches 0x01. It's a minor thing for sure, but I still think it would be helpful.

Agreed! Thanks for the suggestion. I just updated the Technical Reference to use "while" instead of "when".
