Chip-8 Emulator

Shvav-8

Shvav-8 is a Cross-Platform Chip-8 emulator(Shvav is Chip in Hebrew)

About

I developed this project to learn emulation and graphics development - areas that interest me very much.
I started with simple steps, creating a Chip-8 emulator - simple emulation and simple graphics.
Shvav-8 uses CMake as its build system, OpenGL to render its graphics, and SDL2 as a sound library.
