Enums

Pixel

CHIP-8 displays are black and white, so each pixel can be in only one of two states. This type has bitwise operators and conversion traits defined to make it easy to work with.

Traits

Interpreter

CHIP-8 interpreters can be built using this trait. step should be implemented on a type representing a CHIP-8 Interpreter to run the interpreter one clock cycle at a time, such that calling it in a loop runs the interpreter.

Functions

run

Starts the interpreter, blocking the current thread and running until killed. Windowing, graphics, sound, and timing are all handled within this method.

Type Definitions
