A Chip8 interpreter created in Python.
CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s.
The main motivation for this project was to learn the basics of emulation and lower-level programming concepts.
