The Chip8 is a very simple system, originally created as an interpretter for an 8 bit CPU in the 1970s.
While Chip8 is not a physical system, it operates very much like a virtual CPU. Building a Chip8 emulator or interpretter requires the same sort of logic as building an emulator for a physical system.
Given its simplicity, Chip8 has become a favorite for aspiring emulator developers. In this series we will build a Chip8 interpretter from scratch. To ensure that this content is accessible by a wide audience, we will only assume some basic programming experience.
