## Why
Some people will ask me: "Why you did that?"
Well, a friend asked me "What PHP can do?". I thinked about a while, and the idea comes. With PHP 7, it's now possible to emulate some systems because of the performance improvement :-) And come on, it's funny! \o/
It's based on a [GameBoy JS Emulator](https://github.com/taisel/GameBoy-Online).
## Requirements
The following versions of PHP are supported by this version.
+ PHP 5.6
+ PHP 7
+ HHVM
You will need a good terminal! Tested on MacOSX and Linux. Sorry Windows guys :-(
## Running
```bash
$ composer install
$ php boot.php drmario.rom
$ php boot.php pokemon.rom
```
## Controls
```bash
_n_________________
|_|_______________|_|
| ,-------------. |

| |S| "._," Dot |
| _ _ Comma |
| // // |

| N M \\\\\\ ,
|________...______,"
```
+ Left = A
+ Up = W
+ Down = S
+ Right = D
+ A = Comma (,)
+ B = Dot (.)
+ Select = N
+ Start = M
## TO-DO
Converting from the JS paradigm was a lot of work, and I still need to adapt somethings like:
- [x] Code standard - PSRs, please!
- [ ] Array of functions - Maybe in PHP it's not the best approach
- [ ] Pixel auxiliary array - Very CPU intersive to convert RGBA every time
- [ ] Classes - Core is too big!
- [ ] Profiling and otimizing - XHProf to find the most intensive functions
- [ ] Save/Restore - I need to save my Pokémon, please!
