Programming Chip-8 ( RCA 1802 )
In my last entry I've posted one mockup, Pac-Man for RCA studio II.
At first a bizarre idea, today I did progress.
I've start to study about Chip-8 programming, and did progress!
In less than an hour I've written an hello word code.
Chip-8 is a language that come from Cosmac VIP computer released by RCA in 1977.
It's basically a RCA studio II computer. There are many emulator for chip-8, even for gamming platforms such gameboy and vectrex. Today there is super and mega chip-8 variations with more resolution and in color.
The video display 64x32 monocrome pixels of resolution and single sound channel.
I find quite easy and fun to code, at least in the first hour.
Don't know why I'm codding for it. Mainly because I have tons of projects to finish.
I think because the challenge.
My next step is a playable pong.
Edit : Added the image of the moving sprite.
