Kotlin-chip8

CHIP-8 emulator written in Kotlin & TypeScript. It uses WebSockets to stream data to browser.

There's no real benefit in using WebSockets and browser for graphics and controls, I made the project just for practice and lulz.

Example of operation

Requirements

• Node.js
• JDK 11

Installation

1. Make copy of .env.example to .env and fill with your details.

2. Run these commands to install and run client

cd src/client
npm install
npm start

3. Install Maven dependencies listed in pom.xml
4. Run com.eioo.chip8.Main.main
5. Navigate to http://yourhost:port in browser (http://localhost:8080 by default)

TODO

• Missing instructions
• Some instructions are incorrect (?) (Pong doesn't count scores properly, ball sometimes passes through top of game area)
• Handling of keypresses
• Sounds
  • Add duration for sound instead of fixed .mp3
• Heartbeat for socket. Sometimes you need to refresh the page so that the socket connects properly
