Okay, let me just say it's a really good idea to not say you'll have something "tomorrow" in a topic post or on your website. I know this from experience. My site's main page STILL says that the site is under construction and will be up "tomorrow". Yeah, I posted that about a year or two ago! The plus side to saying it will happen "tomorrow" is that it's always true, because by the time tomorrow comes, the word "tomorrow" points to the day after. You might see bars having signs that say "free beer all day tomorrow" as a joke for that reason.

The floating form of the
Super Leaf makes me think of
another raccoon with
a similar logo.

Unless you can make and timestamp a photo of a sign and take the bar to small claims court. But only
a dick would try that.

cripes, Tepples, do you ever think about anything besides Animal Crossing or copyright litigation?

He reached beta 0.3 in one week? I guess this is probably the state of the project:

Well, for those of us who don't code in C:
Code: Select all
.ORG $C000
loop:
jmp loop
empty:
rti
.ORG $FFFA
.dw empty
.dw loop

Yes, I think about NES development, and I think about a lot of things that are way off-topic for this board. It's just that those are the tangents that stick out as kinda-sorta on-topic (AC 1 has emulated NES games; copyright could get this forum shut down if we're not careful).

It's possible that either A. he took a week off from a day job and actually put 40 hours into this, B. he has been working on the project longer, just privately or somewhere other than nesdev.com, or C. both.

He has not shown his face since, so I can only assume whatever he came up with was so revolutionary that it ether caused the NES to have a will of its own and it killed him or took over his body because the its in love with his girlfriend, or Microsoft and Apple killed him so people would have to buy new computers rather than just using there nes for all there computing needs.

It could be because of everybody comments that he decided to not post his result anymore.
When you're a beginner, you can get easily existed when you reach a certain point in your project that seem viable to you even thought for other people it may not seems that much. You want to show to everybody that have the same interest as you so you can get some kind of "peer acceptance" (not sure if this is the proper word to use in english). I was similar at the beginning when I stared to do some nesdeving when I was able to just scroll the background, which is not that much but felt like a lot from the eye of a beginner.
He may just have ended up on some bug and it didn't work and went back to fix it, who knows? But if we continue to write like that message in this thread we're not helping to promote beginner to "want" to program for that platform.
I think we should stop the comments in that thread, it has no purpose. Let him post about his project. For now, it just look to me like public humiliation. I think we're better than that on this forum.
