Major mode for Octo; a high level assembly language for the Chip8 virtual machine.
Currently the mode provides syntax highlighting and indentation rules.
More information about the language can be found here.
The easiest way to install octo-mode is from melpa. Assuming MELPA is added to
your archive list you can list the available packages by typing M-x
list-packages, look for octo-mode, mark it for installation
by typing i and then execute (install) by typing x. Or
install it directly with M-x package-install RET octo-mode.
If you want to install it manually, just drop this file anywhere in your
load-path. By default octo-mode associates itself with the
*.8o file ending. You can enable the mode manually by M-x
octo-mode RET.
Please report any issues you find with the mode and feel free to send me pull-requests with improvements!
If you send a merge-request please make sure that your commits contains exactly what you indent them to. Refrain from doing more than one logical change in each commit and rebase your branch on this repository's master branch to avoid interleaved commits from different branches.
