Author here- glad to see this project gathering a little interest! The most elaborate Chip8 program I've written using Octo so far is an adventure game called "Cave Explorer":

I still have 285 bytes of RAM left over, though…

If anyone decides to tinker with games of their own I'd love to hear about them. I've also written quite a bit of documentation including tutorials and chip8-specific coding tricks which can be found on the project's github page: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Octo


Here's a Mr Worm game (Snake variant) that I made:

Love this stuff!

That's awesome. I recently made a chip-8 emulator in haskell, funnily enough: github.com/tominated/chip-8-vm
