Space Invaders

A Space Invaders emulator written in C, following Emulator 101.

Requirements

• SDL2

Only tested on Linux and macOS. On macOS all you need is to run

brew install sdl2

On linux, you most likely need to install both SDL2 and SDL2-devel.

Usage

Place the invaders.e, invaders.f, invaders.g and invaders.h files on the game_files directory and then run the game with:

make run

The controls are:

• C to insert coins
• Return to start the game once coins are inserted
• Arrows to move
• Space to shoot

Only supports player one for now.

Tests

The 8080 processor test structure is essentially copied from this 8080 emulator. To run all tests:

make run_tests

TODO

Play the game sound.
