Ah yes, actually I guess I use a counter. I like using the counter, because you can use it for things like "Do this every n frames": LDA counter AND $#03 ; EDIT: Changed this to AND, originally I had it as ORA (Oops!) BNE notThisFrame ;this happens every 4th frame notThisFrame: Of course n...

Your timer is the NMI, which occurs 60 times a second (or 50 for pal). So you should set a flag after your NMI routine that tells your main loop to do another frame. That looks like what you are doing as far as I can see. I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, but that's what I've been doing. Th...

Yep. Though after having created all of my own custom tools I will have gained enough knowledge to help with projects such a NESICIDE, and hopefully I can.

Ah, I'm glad you caught that. I seemed to have mis-labeled.

Is it a good idea?
I don't know.

Do I enjoy it?
Yes. And that's all that really matters to me. Some people knit, some watch tv, others go out and dance, while I like to spend my time making games.

...It's making me want to make a similar series of videos about my own development process. It's interesting how different nesdevers come up with a lot of the same ideas (or are using some ideas that float around here on this site, etc.). I hope you do, I've watched your nomolos video many-a-times,...

Just what I've been waiting for, a NES homebrew about Shakeology. But, to answer your question; It says right next to the image upload: "[Avatar] file size [can be] no more than 20 KB." Yours is 100kb+ EDIT: under 20kb http://www.yibbleware.com/nes/files/Mario-sm.gif Also, in all seriousne...

Not sure if anyone else is in a linux environment, but if so I compiled ASM6 for linux:

I vote for this as well.

Nothing is entirely solidified yet, but right now I plan on it being a platformer with puzzle elements.

Ah! I might do just that, thanks. Command line stuff is normally pretty easy to move over.

Thanks. I'm using Geany, then compiling with ASM6. ASM6 is running in WINE, as my OS is Ubuntu.

I've been working on collision detection for my game, and thought I'd give a video update.

As this is my first program for the NES, I think I will not make the collisions much more complex.

Hehe, sorry I wasn't meaning that you should do slopes. I just said that because that is what I am doing
