Unrelated question: what resources did you use to write your CHIP-8 emulator? I've also been wanting to write one in Python for educational purposes, but haven't found any great resources yet in Python. Granted there are a few in C that I could try to translate over, but I'm curious to know what you used.
I looked at the Wikipedia page and a couple PDFs from Google front page.
I stole a collection of games from someone else's project to use for testing.
My goal was to get in the door so I picked a language I knew well and set some constraints:
1. Doesn't have to be fast. Just has to run.
2. Write opcodes as pure functions, passing in an array of memory and returning a new array of memory. This made it easy to test and debug. But also made it super slow.
3. DO NOT look at someone else's code. This forced me down a way slower path where I learned a whole lot more than I would have if I just reimplemented others' work.
