What is the best environment to develop NES games in? I write the code in GVIM and have it compiled in NESASM3. Is there a better way to do this that I am unaware of?

I'm not sure, but this is how I have things initially set up. .inesprg 1 ; 1x 16KB PRG code .ineschr 1 ; 1x 8KB CHR data .inesmap 0 ; mapper 0 = NROM, no bank swapping .inesmir 1 ; background mirroring Does this answer your question? I'm new at this so I still don't know what commands set bit 1 of b...

How do I set bit 1 of byte 6 in the header?

Is the only information saved from $6000 - $7FFF ?

Obviously it is a case of preference. Having my sprite-based game working well and having a familiar feel makes me believe that the sprite based approach is better. The smaller game block size is not bad. I can prove that there could be no larger game block background-tile based game that could be a...

I have been working on a game and I need it to save. I am not new to programming but I am newer to 6502 and may not be familiar with all the terminology you use in your explanation. I don't understand what needs to happen to read and write from a save file.

In my opinion, the animations should not be compromised for tile size in this game. I slowed down on an emulator the other version of the game being made that was posted and I found it had a lot of clunky, blinky animations.

The attribute clash would be very very hard to overcome and it would surely come at a price at some point. Perhaps it might be easier if I demonstrate with an animated GIF. This movement is unrealistic to the original game. In the GIF, the blocks are separating for a short time before coming togeth...

Redesigned the interface to look more like the Android game.

I used sprites instead of background tiles. That way, the animations are far smoother. The only trade-off is tile size. Mine was designed to be as close to the Android game as possible in color and presentation.

My version of 2048 is just about done and better than the one you have posted. I will post it in 2 weeks.
