You're not alone, Sik; I do the same thing as you.

I think there's also going to be an "anything goes" category, so you might be able to submit it there.

Despite being the guy who tried to enter two projects in the 2014 compo and failed, I still think the idea of a competition is a good idea. Going through the rest of the thread from the beginning... 1- 3months isn't really enough time for most people to create something significant from scratch. 3mo...

and for lazy people:

my choice on Linux (so far) is "Okteta", but it might not be what you're looking for if you're not interested in pulling in a bunch of KDE dependencies (I believe)

I use YY-CHR for all my console tile editing needs (which includes SNES support)... dunno if it'll be the right fit for you, but it's an alternative.

Pretty awkward really, but on the other hand that makes it perfect for the Nomad (especially with its otherwise weird 2P port). If only that worked... Unfortunetly due to incompatibilites Sega designed into the Nomad portable game device, the cable will not work on the Nomad. (spelling errors are t...

Should be available on this page; click the screenshot to download.

edit: a Famicom Disk System version is also available

there are supposedly two 6502 LLVM backends available, though I haven't used either of them.

from the wiki : (NES APU registers) are write-only except $4015 which is read/write. This would explain why reading from the APU registers doesn't give you any values. Each game has its own way of writing sound data to the PPU, so you'd have to find that first (by checking the code for writes to tho...

it seems to be 黒猫SPC from http://kurohane.net/seisanbutu.html.

I'm pretty sure a computer can't truly create a random number. a computer by itself, you're right. If you manage to add some source of entropy, though (e.g. CCD noise from a covered camera (can't seem to find the link for this one anymore), lava lamps (watch out for patents though), or other such h...

I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on how to keep the gears turning. This is my number one piece of advice: Don't get sidetracked by other things (like I did). If I hadn't started messing with the Neo-Geo, Family Picross might be done by now. As for achieving that? Good luck. :D (but I also wouldn...

GNU Make doesn't even let you do arithmetic, so this isn't as bad of an idea as you'd think... (still cursing the hack I had to do to get that crap working) Wait, why'd you need GNU Make to do arithmetic? Needed to create a split set of *.c# files (with proper numbering) for Neo-Geo development. :s

finally finally FINALLY I can have a build system that's in a weird and somewhat unpopular language. Because I'm quirky. And original. And cool. Mwahaha. Okay really I'm using a scripting language for my build scripts because it's a scripting language, and I can write other tools with the same lang...
