CHIP-8 Emulator

This is a CHIP-8 emulator written in C++. It uses Raylib for graphics and Glad for OpenGL function loading. This project was developed over a few days following the CHIP-8 Technical Reference (http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/chip8/C8TECH10.HTM) and a wonderful blog written by Tobias Langhoff (https://tobiasvl.github.io/blog/write-a-chip-8-emulator/).

This project and it's dependencies can be built using CMake.
