# To do
- [ ] Figure out why $00 contains $20
## Research
- [ ] Learn how the C64's PC gets initialized (what is the initial value? how is it set?)
- [ ] Review CHIP-8
- read about the spec / ISA
- read these, and add them to the bibliography:
- Steve Losh: https://stevelosh.com/blog/2016/12/chip8-input/
- https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2021/chip8-spec/
## Misc
- [ ] Play with JSDoc
## Design
- [ ] Add keypad to memory map
- [ ] [Replace CHP/CFC with FHP/FTG](2023-08-07--dev-notes.md)
- [ ] Add a flag for bank-switching to the ~zero-page
### For consideration
- [ ] Subroutine stack
- [ ] [Extended system (secret bonus operations)](2023-08-07--dev-notes.md)
## Programming
- [ ] Write some more complex test programs
- [ ] Display (hex) numbers
- [ ] Greater than
## Run-scripts
- [ ] Change interface to run in non-debug mode by default, and use a flag to select debug mode:
- `./run-cpu.js foo.asm`
- `./run-cpu.js --debug foo.asm`
- `./run-cpu.js -d foo.asm`
## Simulator
- [ ] rewrite to call things 'opcodes' and 'operands'
### Assembler
- [ ] Pad up to 256 bytes
- [ ] Validate labels
- [ ] Return pure machine code when printing to stdout (and not in debug mode)
### CPU
- [ ] Add single-stepping
### Under-the-hood improvements
- [ ] Do a proper binary version... (or lose the typed arrays?)
- [ ] Extract debugging to its own module
