very basic Vim syntax highlighting and indentation rules for Chip8 assembly.
these rules will apply to any *.8o file.
##installation
clone the repository with
git clone git@github.com:jackiekircher/vim-chip8.git
or download the
latest release
and copy the files into your Vim directory's corresponding ftdetect,
syntax, and indent folders. If you prefer to use Pathogen then that
should work too.
##SuperChip
the SuperChip instruction set is a backwards compatible extension of Chip8 that adds, among other features, a higher resolution graphics mode and screen scrolling. Syntax highlighting for these instructions is disabled by default but you can enable them by uncommenting the following line in syntax/8o.vim:
"let b:superChip = 1if you want to read more, go to the SuperChip documentation
##XO-Chip
the XO-Chip, much like the SuperChip, adds a variety of new instructions that are also backwards compatible with Chip8. This includes new instructions or updates to instructions that make working with an extended memory space much easier/possible. to enable these uncomment the following line in syntax/8o.vim:
"let b:xoChip = 1for more information here is the full XO-Chip specification
##contributions
I don't have a lot of experience with Chip8 so if there are important rules that I missed or you have indentation problems please let me know by opening an issue or submitting a pull request!
