CHIP-8 in Rust + Webassembly

Overview

This is a fun demo of a chip-8 interpreter written in Rust, intended to be used in the browser using webassembly. A demo site is included to use the compiled web assembly. The WASM/JS memory layer is managed by wasm-bindgen which helps you write much more sane rust structs/methods which can be exported to be used in JavaScript.

Prerequisites

• Node.JS + NPM
• Yarn
• Rust (nightly)
• wasm-bindgen-cli
• Firefox (Bugs in webpack prevent working in chrome)

Build

• ./build_and_serve
