Requirements:
- A compiler supporting C++17
- CMake
In the root folder of the repo, create a subfolder called 'build' and navigate into it:
mkdir build && cd build
Then setup the build process by generating a Makefile using CMake:
cmake ..
Finally, finish the build process using a compiler of choice:
make
The executable will be located in the 'build' subfolder.
- Add audio for sound timer
- Implement SUPER-CHIP instructions and allow user to toggle between them
