Hey I've been reading up on this stuff a number of times but gave up halfway through it every time. I think this time I'm pretty close to getting the general idea. Right now, I'm trying to crack how scrolling works, but there's so many questions popping up in my head. As I've understood it, the NES ...

Wow, I wish this happened more often...

Unfortunately, I can't be of any help myself... damn I wish I knew how to make NES games right now.

Bumping just to show you I'm interested.

So... any breakthroughs yet?

Man, I'm so jealous of you guys. I still don't even know how to display text, unless I edit someone else's code that already does it...

I'm sure you will. I just want to learn how to do this the hard way before I start taking shortcuts. I still make webpages using notepad for the same reason.

NESnake 2 is pretty nice, yes.

Well, ok. I'm not really interested in using macros if I'm learning this, even though assigning names to certain numbers, variables and adresses would help reduce confusion (like in blargg's examples).

I learned 6502 on this thing. http://home.pacbell.net/michal_k/6502.html Looks like it's capable of doing a lot more than the NES can - as far as I know you can't write stuff like "lda = timer+3" in NES assembler. I could be wrong. If I had to learn it again, the first thing I'd want to u...

Yeah, it's finished enough. Seemed really difficult too, until I realized I'd mapped both players controls to the same keys. Jesus.

Nice pun, btw. I don't think I'd dare to joke about something like that unless I was Jewish, but I admire your courage.

"Christmas Island"? Wtf? Anyway, how much hosting space do you need?

Are there any really good homebrewn games out there? I mean, playable, finished ones that aren't just rom hacks?

Your website seems to be down atm, otherwise I'd be happy to try it. I'd enjoy making graphics for a 6502 game, but I don't know if I could make anything you'd think was good enough. Myself, my only project right now is to learn as much about NES game making as possible. I've been making little game...

Can't wait to see the results when you're done with the first (ok, maybe the second, then) tutorial. Anyway, I had an idea for a tutorial (not too early) - a simple counter, like a score meter. Pressing a button (say A) gives 1 point, pressing another button (say B) gives 5 points. Making the value ...

I don't see any mention of cc65-nes-2.11.0-1.zip in there. What is it, what does it do, and why is it of no use to us?
