hello,
i would like to learn how to program the nes, but i have never done anything like this be4, the thing i would like to program/ the game i want to make is "super mario bros. g&w simulator." kind of like the demo/port of bombsweeper for the nes by kent hansen. where is a good place to start. i have already made a screenshot of the title (http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/400447d3_5cf9/bc/smb+g%26w+title.jpg?bfyAQWBBgp6gF1tP) its less then 8 colors and it 256x240, so i guess it would work but i really don`t know where to begin and i would really like to do something like this. the only thing i have ever done with the nes is burned some eproms and put them on the pc board and played. other then that i don`t know much. i really kind of big into nes emulation just the basic like load the rom in the emulator so i know a little, very little. i do kitty stuff like pocketnes and other ports to diff consoles, any help i can get would be very help full.
thanks,
ryan

Yeah... and I'd like to make giant buildings, but I barely know about buildings, only my Lego experience :)

well best thing is to go through the tutorials on this site, 2 or 3 i think
see about moving a sprite around, once thats done
a) design up all your sprites/tiles
b) place your tiles into the name table
c) get your character onto screen, calculate how much distance you need to move character each movement, change the tiles for the sprite each movement
d) do the same for any other things that move on screen
e) do collision detection (not important until you get to this stage)
