What it says on the tin.
## Update
I've started putting another version together with C on the [Raylib library](https://www.raylib.com/) which can be found here: [https://github.com/MattDrivenDev/raychip-8](https://github.com/MattDrivenDev/raychip-8).
### Suggestions of things to do:
* Make it (more) functional
* Encapsulate all of the stateful data as a `type` that can be filtered through each iteration/tick - meaning it can be immutable
* Make sound work
* The Sound Timer (`ST`) is implemented but isn't doing anything.
* Make more use of the `DOUBLEBUFFER`
* It's used only for performance at the moment to know which pixels/cells to draw each tick
* Could be used to draw when pixels/cells are redrawn (the flickering of sprites I think would be solved)
* Add DEBUG UI
* Add more UI where the game screen becomes just a small part of the emulator window
* Use additional space to give graphical representation of the Memory, Registers and where the PC is pointing in memory etc.
