        # chip8

A CHIP-8 emulator written in Rust

## Goal

The goal of this project is to build a fully functional emulator (but I should name it an interpreter) of the virtual CHIP-8 device. Moreover, it has (and still serves) as a great sandbox to learn and experiment about the [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) language.

The source code is voluntarily and extensively commented for educational purposes.

## Help

```

USAGE:

    chip8.exe [OPTIONS] 

ARGS:

        Path to the ROM file

OPTIONS:

    -h, --help          Print help information

    -s, --super-chip    Run as the SUPER-CHIP

    -V, --version       Print version information

```

## State of the project

The program is "opcode complete" and runs correctly even though some improvements remain to be done (see [issues](https://github.com/fvilers/chip8/issues)).
