CHIP8(6) - Games Manual

NAME

chip8 - a simple CHIP-8 system emulator

SYNOPSIS

chip8 game

DESCRIPTION

The game chip8 plays a CHIP-8 ROM. It will appear in its own window.

CONTROLS

CHIP-8 uses a 16 key keypad that does not correspond to the way a normal keyboard is layed out. The keys are the hexedecimal digits (0-9, A-F), and layed out as follows:

C D E F  
8 9 A B  
4 5 6 7  
0 1 2 3

These are mapped to the rightmost 16 keys on the standard QWERTY keyboard:

1 2 3 4  
Q W E R  
A S D F  
Z X C V

Unfortunately, this is hardcoded at compile time.
