CHIP-8


## CHIP-8 Emulator

This project is my first dive into emulation.

### Background

I have wanted to create my own Game Boy emulator for a very long time. Along the way I realized that I should start out a bit more modest and implement a CHIP-8 emulator (technically interpreter) first. I plan on implementing debugging tools for each system that is emulated in the hopes of helping other people along with their own emulator journey.

## Install from Source

If you're lazy (like me), you can use the Makefile:

```bash

$ make init

$ make all

```

### Flatpak

This application is build with Flatpak:

```bash

$ flatpak-builder build com.github.avojak.chip-8.yml --user --install --force-clean

$ flatpak run --env=G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=com.github.avojak.chip-8 com.github.avojak.chip-8

```

### Updating Translations

When new translatable strings are added, ensure that `po/POTFILES` contains a

reference to the file with the translatable string.

Update the `.pot` file which contains the translatable strings:

```

$ ninja -C build com.github.avojak.chip-8-pot

```

Generate translations for the languages listed in the `po/LINGUAS` files:

```

$ ninja -C build com.github.avojak.chip-8-update-po

```
