About

A collection of programs written for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Due to the limitations of the hardware, all the programs must be relatively small, so it makes sense to keep them all in the same repository.

Technical Details

Technical details regarding this project are always available in the README accompanying the Github repository. The current page only provides a cursory overview suitable for those wishing to learn about the project.

Pre-assembled ROMs are available for all relevant sub-projects. These ROMs are playable using any NES emulator, such as FCEUX.

Sub-projects

The NES Development project consists of the following programs, detailed in their own pages:

• sprite, a simple test program that demonstrates a wide variety of hardware-provided functionality and general programming techniques.
• money-run, a side-scrolling platformer with an emphasis on simplicity. Indefinitely on hiatus.

Download

You can download this project in either zip or tar formats.

You can also clone the project with Git by running:

$ git clone git://github.com/avik-das/nesdev
