Re: 8x16 sprite is really a 16x32 pixel image?

Jeez guys, I am new to coding, but NOT to graphics hacking. Everything is made of 8x8 tiles. For example, loading the SMB rom and locating the mushroom won't show it in one piece. You see each 8x8 tile of it for all of it. A 16x16 sprite has 4 8x8 tiles, 32x32 has 16, so on. As for the oddity of the...

Re: Being a Noob at NES Games from Scratch...

It's going to be difficult, I know that. It's not even a surprise. The surprise would be if someone made it easy. I'm confused -- you make a statement like this, but then the thread itself is about how "you want to get some utilities" to make a NES game from scratch. So I can't figure out...

Being a Noob at NES Games from Scratch...

...Is really horrible.

I mean, seriously. I can't find the dang utilities even! Where do I even get these utilities? I'd like if these utilities were easy, if you can give me links to some. I'm new. It's hard out there for a NES scratch-game developer, for homebrew.
