This project is a Chip-8 emulator written in JavaScript. Chip-8 is a simple, interpreted programming language used primarily on early home computers like the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800. This emulator allows you to run Chip-8 programs in modern web browsers, providing an accessible way to experience vintage computing.

• Full Chip-8 Instruction Set: Supports all core Chip-8 instructions.
• Graphics Display: Renders graphics in a canvas element, emulating the 64x32 pixel screen.
• Sound Emulation: Basic support for sound via JavaScript's Web Audio API.
• Keypad Input: Handles user input using keyboard mappings.
