# Uxn

An [8-bit stack-based computer](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxn.html), written in ANSI C. 

## Build

To build the Uxn emulator, you must have [SDL2](https://wiki.libsdl.org/) and [Portmidi](http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/).

```sh
./build.sh 
	--debug # Add debug flags to compiler
	--cli # Run rom without graphics
```

## Emulator Controls

- `ctrl+h` toggle debugger
- `alt+h` toggle zoom
