CHIP-8 Emulator

[stewlab]

I have been working on a CHIP-8 emulator / interpreter for Tulip CC, and recently got external program loading and display working. I will create a public repository for the code soon, and will also share it in Tulip World.

CHIP-8 is essentially the original fantasy console, in a similar category as TIC-80 and PICO-8.

Here is a screenshot of the app running an IBM Logo CHIP-8 program via Tulip Desktop:

Here is a video of another CHIP-8 demo running in the same environment:

Wow!!! Super cool!

Here is the initial release:

It seems to work on Tulip Desktop and a Tulip Creative Computer device, but not quite on T-Deck just yet. Also, performance is pretty bad, so I am still working on optimization.
