My implementation of a CHIP-8 interpreter, using SDL2 and some C++11 features to do so.
From the root directory of the repository, run the following from a terminal:
/path/to/repo> mkdir build && cd build
/path/to/repo/build> cmake .. && make
Alternatively, one could do the same by using an IDE with cmake support.
Run the binary from the command line, as it requires user input before the GUI will be initialized.
The following two websites were used heavily for the implementation (as well as some others to a lesser extent) http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/chip8/C8TECH10.HTM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP-8
