I am working on a little program for NES, right now I'm messing around with the basic things, controler, NMI, display screen, scrolling, etc. I don't know how far it will get, I have another project in my mind (related to the NES). Maybe I will release the source code so ppl can have a "very basic library" of functions to the NES, I don't know right now.

Starting learning assembly with the NES is a bad thing, because you will test your code on emulator and emulator are not 100% perfect, and it can cause you big trouble. Another thing is the PPU which is very complex and misterious in some case (even nowadays emulator have problem with it...), and the first thing you should set up in your program is the screen (controled by the PPU) to see something. I would start learning assembly with the i386 instead, a lot easier, you won't have to bother about the hardware! There is a "ton" of tutorials about the i386 on the net, grab one and try yourself! Good luck!

Offcourse you would be testing your NES programs in an emulator... But who can build the cart when the game
is finished?

It's in Chris Covell's site; he details how to wire up 'Solar Wars' onto an NES cartridge. The link to his site should be on the nesdev main page somewhere.

I plan on developing at least two NES games, but they're not past the Idea Stage yet. I'm working on learning Assembly Language right now, and will be programming mainly 8-bit games (aside from a possible text adventure game for the PC).

The newer of the two NES games I have planned is a Tetris clone with smooth vertical action. Nobody's done that yet, despite the fact that the NES is recognized for its smooth game action.

You *might* like my first NES game, but it's not made with Nintendo fans in mind.

I have no idea when either game will be finished. Sorry.

Meaning what? What kind of game is it?

I'm just going to call this game "Dodge-em" for the time being.

The goal of each level is to move your ship from the right side of the screen to the left, while successfully avoiding collisions with the obstacles placed randomly on the screen.

Your ship can't move right. It can only move Left, Up, and Down. It can go Left either fast or slowly. When moving Left slowly, you can move Up and Down faster.

The game also has a bonus which decreases continuously. The bonus will decrease faster if you're moving Left slowly. This bonus is awarded every time you pass a level.

If the area ahead of you in a straight line is clear, you can enter Hyperspace for the rest of the level. The bonus does not decrease when you're in Hyperspace. If the path isn't completely clear though, you'll ram into an obstacle and die.

The NES is known mainly for RPGs, platform games, and "Scrolling shooters". "Dodge-em" is none of these. That's why most NES fans probably won't like it.

Hello there. Hey I really like your NES programming site. It is pretty good when I still didnt understand alot of shit.

And also you should look at your site because on the main page that java script does not link to the other tutorials that you have. And I was wanting to check them out as well.

I have a third game idea:

"Destination: Galaxy X" (unless the title is changed)

You must rescue the humanoids that alien ships have captured. Each new level introduces a new enemy, each with their own unique ability: One splits apart when shot, another uses the force of gravity against you, and so on.
