From README for Tetris on CHIP-8 (1991). We should bring back sending feature request in an envelope with $5 attached.

Forget just coding an emulator; imagine building the *language* first. This post unpacks the monumental task of creating a CHIP-8 emulator in a custom programming language, from designing syntax and memory models to tackling performance. It's a masterclass in compiler design, OS principles, and computer architecture, pushing developers to understand how computers *really* work.

I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator in my own programming language

Updated zig8's renderer to use streaming texture access to improve render performance.

Trying to deal with buffer over/under runs in zig8's rather simple audio system.

Whenever I adjust the cycle rate of the emulator the sound gets out of sync. And at least in the sound test demo if you hold the key down to let the sound run a long time it starts to introduce delay.

This morning I'm working on improving the audio for zig8; moving the audio processing to a separate thread for more consistent timing and trying to get the sound just right so it's not so harsh. 😄

made a #chip8 emulator with #rustlang

used #winit and #pixels to do the 2d rendering.

next up, intel8080!

There's some stuttering, not keeping the buffers full enough but it's a start.
