# CHIP-8 Emulator in Go
This is a simple CHIP-8 emulator written in Go using the Raylib library. The emulator reads CHIP-8 ROM files, interprets the instructions, and renders the output on a 64x32 pixel display (scaled by 8).
## Features
- **Emulation of CHIP-8 instructions:** Supports basic CHIP-8 operations including memory management and drawing sprites.
- **Rendering with Raylib:** Uses Raylib for rendering the CHIP-8 display, scaled up for better visibility.
- **ROM Loading:** Load any CHIP-8 ROM file and run it in the emulator.
## Prerequisites
- **Go 1.18 or later**
- **Raylib-Go binding:** Install the Raylib-Go bindings by following the instructions [here](https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go).
## Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/kaandesu/chip8-emulator-go.git
cd chip8-emulator-go
```
2. Install the necessary Go dependencies::
```sh
go get -u github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib
```
3. Compile and run the emulator::
```sh
go run .
```
4. Usage
- Place the CHIP-8 ROM file in the `./demos/` directory.
- Modify the `LoadROM` function call in `setup()` to point to your ROM file:
```go
err := Emulator.LoadROM("./demos/your-rom-file.ch8")
```
- Run the emulator to start the CHIP-8 program.
