Progress on Chip 8 to date.

So, where are we at? Well, I'm up to version 15 for the Processing version of the Chip 8 emulator/debugger. It's slow and tiny but has taught me a lot about the attributes of Chip 8, Java, Processing, version control and perseverance.
Still have to work out what chip 8 thinks it's getting when keys are pressed. Pretty sure it looks for a 0x01 when a "1" is pressed and not 0x31 that I programmed it with.Think it's time this phase is finished and put to bed so then I can start on the Arduino version.

Finished finally version 0.1 of Processing Chip8

By attacking one instruction, sometimes two each day, I've finally got all the Chip 8 instructions working ok in the slow test version of the Chip8 emulator written in the excellent but quirky language, Processing. This was done over the Xmas break where I ate and drank too much so I'm quite pleased I stuck at it. Now I've got to get the real programs running in the interpreter I've made. There's heaps on the 'net and I thought I'd start off with the old favourite, Pong. That's tomorrow. Maybe the day after as it's fully social tomorrow. Above is a screen shot of a project coming to a close. At least that phase.
