Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: 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...).

Beginner, intermediate, and advanced c programming projects
Here is a reddit threadfor documentation resources and apparently the r/EmuDev discord has even more. Personally i used wikipedia and youtube to understand what it was & what it should look like (i remember still not getting it at first) and then Cowgod's Chip-8 Technical Reference as main reference for implementing the Instructions and overall architecture (beware that some instructions are missing key details about flag updating and other stuff another source will need to be used). Then the Chip8-test-suite by Tim Franssen was a godsend for the debugging phase. (you can go to Octo and try out some Chip8 games first if you want) also download some game-roms for testing.

Chip 9 (impossible opcodes?)
Oh and with "test ROMs" I didn't mean "test with more ROMs", but use ROMs that are actually meant for testing 😉 See for example https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite

CHIP-8 Emulator in Golang and WebAssembly
The emulator still has issues but it is largely usable. It passes most of the tests in test ROMs that I have found, in particular the ones here. It also has a simple debugger that actually helped me find issues in my implementation.

Weird Horizontal Offset In My Chip-8 Emulator Display
thanks alot man! i'll now run the roms in chip8-test-suite...

[Chip8] Screen gets wacky after splash screen
If you're at this point in the chip8 process, you may be able to run something like https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite to identify some common issues such as forgetting to set a flag or doing arithmetic operations slightly wrong. Maybe one of these common issues is the culprit.

Chip8 test ROM showing not showing correct things.
I'd recommend trying this test ROM instead: https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite

Beginner, intermediate, and advanced c programming projects
You can do something like this, but way less polished and stick to one platform: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/tree/master

Podcast: Modern C for Absolute Beginners
Otherwise study real, mature, well-written C programs. There's a wealth of techniques and tricks that aren't really documented anywhere, but rather picked up from others. Recommendations off the top of my head: BSD utilities, musl, and SQLite. Or simply study the source for your favorite C software. Also, something good posted here recently: The Architecture of space-shooter.c.

space-shooter.c: A cross-platform, top-down 2D space shooter written in C using only system libraries
I wrote space-shooter.c as a personal challenge to create a game from start to finish in C without using any 3rd-party libraries and wanted to share the source as a reference for anyone who's also interested in this type of game programming. The source code is heavily-commented, and I'm also writing a (still WIP) architecture guide that goes over the design decisions and details I learned about working with OS APIs in C: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md
