Known Issues

• Currently audio is running on the same thread as the core. When audio is triggered the core will lag for one cycle
• Core speed is not accurate. Currently, the core is sleeping for 16 milliseconds after every cycle to roughly reach 60 cycles per second.

Future work

• Refactor improper C++. Code base does not follow best practices and leaves a lot of room for improvement.
• Refactor the massive switch statement of Opcodes to instead use function pointers.
• Implement Super CHIP-8 Opcodes
