This is an implementation of a CHIP-8 emulator written in Elm.

A range of ROMS are already included - all of which are in public domain.

Credit to Thomas P. Greene. for providing proper documentation of the Chip-8 specification.

An online demo can be found here: http://dragonwasrobot.github.io/chip-8/

Ensure you have Elm 0.19 installed. I personally recommend using asdf, https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf, to handle version management of compilers.

With Elm installed, perform the following steps:

• Change the romsUrlPrefix in src/Request.elm to /roms/,
• run the command ./build.sh to compile the source, and
• run the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the root of the docs/ folder to start a server that can serve both the docs/index.html file and the CHIP-8 roms stored in docs/roms, then
• go to http://localhost:8000 in your favorite browser.

The tests are written using elm-test and elm-verify-examples. To run the tests, perform the steps:

• Run the command npm install to install elm-test and elm-verify-examples,
• run the command npm run doc-tests to generate the documentation tests found in the Elm code,
• run the command npm test to run all tests in the tests folder.
