Chip-8 interpreter that might one day also have other tools

EightDAD

Overview

What

For now, it's only a Chip-8 Virtual Machine in python.

The name comes from the tools I hope to add:

• Eight, as in Chip-8 VM
• Debugger
• Assembler
• Disassembler

Why

I want to learn more about assemblers, Virtual Machines, and implementing languages! This is a step toward other projects and becoming a better developer.

But Octo already exists!

I know. I like it, but it's not helping me reach the goals I outlined above.

I'm also hoping to write simple demos that push the limits of what's been built for Chip-8. I think implementing a Chip-8 interpreter will prepare me for that.
