# emul
This folder contains a couple of tools running under the [libz80][libz80]
emulator.
## Requirements
You need `ncurses` to build the `forth` executable. In debian-based distros,
it's `libncurses5-dev`.
## Build
First, make sure that the `libz80` git submodule is checked out. If not, run
`git submodule init && git submodule update`.
After that, you can run `make` and it builds the `forth` interpreter.
## Usage
The `./forth` executable here works like the one in `/cvm`, except that it runs
under an emulated z80 machine instead of running natively. Refer to
`/cvm/README.md` for details.
## Not real hardware
`./forth` doesn't try to emulate real hardware
because the goal here is to facilitate "high level" development.
These apps run on imaginary hardware and use many cheats to simplify I/Os.
For real hardware emulation (which helps developing drivers), see the `hw`
folder.
