Chipotle8 is a CHIP-8 Emulator implemented in Rust, designed for networked play.
There are many CHIP-8 implementations, so this one differentiates itself by running as a client/server model so those CHIP-8 games which are multiplayer may be played with friends over the Internet. Once I implement networking you will be able to spin this up on a VPC, go to the appropriate URL and join a game lobby while you wait for a friend to join the same URL and begin play.
- Implement single player windowed emulator
- Test on non-Ubuntu systems
- Implement server networking
- Implement client library in Javascript (maybe some WASM thrown in for fun)
- Play first networked Pong game!
# Cargo.toml
