About Chip-8

Chip-8 was developed in the mid-1970s by Joseph Weisbecker for use on the COSMAC VIP and other 8-bit microcomputers. It was created to simplify game development on these systems, providing an easy-to-learn language with a small set of instructions.

Strengths of Chip-8 include its simplicity, ease of learning, and suitability for small-scale game development. Weaknesses involve its limited instruction set, lack of advanced features, and low performance. Competitors include other early programming languages like BASIC and assembly languages for various 8-bit microcomputers.
