Syntax highlighting and indentation rules for Chip8 assembly. These rules will apply to any *.8o file. Full support for the SuperChip and XO-Chip instruction sets is available, but not enabled out-of-the-box. Read below for directions. Supported keywords:   conditionals:  begin, else, end, if, then, while       constants:  buzzer, const, delay, key        functions:  bcd, jump, jump0, load, save, sprite           repeats:  again, loop     statements:  :alias`, :breakpoint, :next, :unpack, clear, return There is also syntax highlighting for named subroutines, integer/hex/binary values, and comments. Auto-indentation will trigger for the following cases   * indent one shiftwidth on lines following `loop`   * indent one shiftwidth on lines following `while`   * unindent to matching `loop` when ending it with `again`   * indent one shiftwidth on lines following `if ... begin` and `else`   * unindent to matching `if ... begin` when ending it with `end`   * indent to zero for new labels   * indent one shiftwidth on lines following new labels   * indent to zero when ending a subroutine with `;` SuperChip An expanded set of keywords are supported for the SuperChip instruction set. To enable these uncomment out the following line in syntax/8o.vim:   "let b:superChip = 1 Supported keywords:     constants:  bighex      functions:  hires, loadflags, lores, saveflags, scroll-down, scroll-left, scroll-right   statements:  exit XO-Chip Another set of keywords are available to support the XO-Chip instructions. These are also disabled by default but can be turned on by uncommenting out the following line in syntax/8o.vim:   "let b:superChip = 1 Supported keywords:     constants:  long      functions:  plane, scroll-up   statements:  audio Contribute! I really haven't done a whole lot of Chip8 programming so if something feels weird or is missing, please feel free to leave an issue of submit a pull request at https://github.com/jackiekircher/vim-chip8
