I've been wondering about the possibility of creating a Canabalt clone on NES, but i'm curious if NES could handle the dynamic platform generation. Has anyone made any similar demos?

Very interesting project. Also on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4833860

This is amazing. It compiles and runs in real time! Can't believe the best IDE ever for NES homebrew is just inside my browser.

Congrats, bro.

Fastest answer ever. Thanks, Shiru. But do you have anything NES-specific?

Are there any good tutorials on such topics? Or even just docs/examples?

Where are palettes set? I see the .db directives, but they set an entire palette, not one comprised of 4 colors.

Couldn't be more clear. Thank you very much, Dwedit.

Well, i've been following the Nerdy Nights tutorials and i have a couple of questions that you guys might be able to help me. :) Using the LSR/ROL technique for reading controllers is nice... but how do i actually get the value from each button in order to execute an action? ANDing the bits? CLC cle...

Hm, interesting. I had in mind an asteroids-style rotation.

Shame on me!


ps. What about sprite rotation? Or is this a can of worms for a beginner?

So, i'm following this tutorial: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=22&threadid=7974 It loads the sprite position from $0203. I understand that in the provided examples, in order to make the sprite go Up and Down instead, i have to load from $0200. But why? How...

Thanks a lot guys, really.

I'm following Nerdy Nights tutorial. Can i use ASM6? What are the main differences and adjustments i have to make?

I'm trying to understand a little better how interpreting the NES works and i'm looking for an emulator with a clean and easy to understand code. Most sources that i found are full of hacks and whistles. I'm looking for something quite simple. Do you guys recommend anything? It doesn't have to be pe...

I'm curious about the lack of tutorials or example source code for ASM6. Most tuts are for NESASM and, from what i heard on the forums, this is not a good assembler.

Do you guys have any good links for someone starting out with NES assembly and ASM6?

ps.: Working on Linux, so, be nice with me!
