The optional `scaleFactor` argument can be used to upscale it to a\nmore sensible size. With the default value of 10 the emulated display will have\na size of 640x320 pixels and each CHIP-8 pixel will be rendered as 10x10px\nrectangle.\n\n### Keyboard mapping\n\nCHIP-8 systems used a hexadecimal keyboard with the layout shown on the left.\nThis is mapped to the physical keyboard as shown on the right.\n\n```\n|---|---|---|---|               |---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | 2 | 3 | C |               | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |\n|---|---|---|---|               |---|---|---|---|\n| 4 | 5 | 6 | D |               | Q | W | E | R |\n|---|---|---|---|               |---|---|---|---|\n| 7 | 8 | 9 | E |               | A | S | D | F |\n|---|---|---|---|               |---|---|---|---|\n| A | 0 | B | F |               | Z | X | C | V |\n|---|---|---|---|               |---|---|---|---|\n```\n\nSo to get \"deadbeef\" inside the emulator you'd have to type \"rfzrcffv\".\n\n## License\n\nMIT License Copyright (c) 2022 Michael Kohl\n\nFor the full license text see [LICENSE](./LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcitizen428%2Fchip8","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcitizen428%2Fchip8","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcitizen428%2Fchip8/lists"}
