Fortran Chip-8 Interpreter

This is my first emulator. It is still missing a few bells and whistles like the sound timer, but otherwise it passes the basic tests from Timendus (https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite). I've also been thinking about making a Fortran dialect suitable for CHIP-8 (https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fortran-chip-8-interp...).

    I built a handheld CHIP-8 game console to teach myself embedded systems2022 · github.com · ▲128

    A while back I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator (which is considered the Hello, World! of emulators and is more accurately a virtual machine since historically CHIP-8 was an interpreted language running on top of the COSMAC VIP to make game programming easier). But a few months ago I got really interested in embedded software, so decided it would be neat to port my emulator to a STM32 MCU and design a console around it as a learning experience, since CHIP-8 never existed as a physical system. I didn't know much about embedded software when I began, and even less about electronics, but I managed to…

    I'm 17 and I created a Forth interpreter for the TI-84+ calculator2018 · ▲56

    https://github.com/siraben/ti84-forth Hi HN! For the past year I've been getting into programming in Z80 assembly (especially for the TI-84+). More recently I've been learning about the Forth programming language and after a lot of searching online (in vain) for a Forth interpreter for the TI-84, I decided to write one myself. It's been fun demoing this to others, because it's a very unexpected use of a calculator. It's my largest project to date, and I'm interested to know what the HN community thinks, please feel free to critique my code! -- Ben
