vm-core

This is a library that executes Maikor game files in a VM. It won't run by itself though, instead it requires an external program to manage timing and frame rate to keep the code execution speed similar between platforms.

Usage

Ideally use one of the vm-interface libraries

However, this is all that's need to run a game:

//read file
let maikor_game = read_file();
//create an instance
let mut vm = VM::new();
//load the game
vm.load_game(maikor_game);
vm.init(); 
//then
loop {
    vm.step();
}

(but most games need user input to work)
