I basically wanted to improve my OpenGL (and C++) skills through a fun project. I always wanted to make an emulator, and the Chip8 is a fairly easy one to start with. So why not making the rendering 3D to be able to move "inside" the game.
Here is a small video of what it looks like: video
You can use the mouse and the WASD keys to move. The Chip8 inputs are:
| keys | keys | keys | keys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| R | T | Y | U |
| F | G | H | J |
| V | B | N | M |
All deps should already be bundled inside the project.
The only system libs needed are OpenGL and OpenAL.
This project is using cmake as build system.
Inside the project root:
mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
./chip8_run /path/to/rom
