The CHIP-8 Emulator project.
According to Wikipedia's article of CHIP-8: "CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s."
This project is an interpreter/emulator of CHIP-8 and SUPER-CHIP coded just for fun which aims to be executed in many platforms. Right now only GNU/Linux and MacOS X are supported but support for Windows will come. We have in our minds to port it to an Arduino board too.
Go to the main directory and type the following:
1) autoconf
This produces two files: autom4te.cache and configure. The first one is a directory used for speeding up the job of autotools, and may be removed when releasing the package. The latter is the shell script called by final users.
2) aclocal
This generates a file aclocal.m4 that contains macros for automake things.
3) automake --add-missing
Automake now reads configure.ac and the top-level Makefile.am, interprets them (e.g. see further work has to be done in some subdirectories) and, for each Makefile.am produces a Makefile.in. The argument --add-missing tells automake to provide default scripts for reporting errors, installing etc, so it can be omitted in the next runs.
4) autoconf
This produces the final, full-featured configure shell script.
5) ./configure
6) make
Chip 8 Comes with an example dummy chip 8 executable.
To execute example dummy file type:
./src/che tests/loop.ch8
