Thank you for this!

As someone who is still pretty new to this scene and discovered a lot solely because of that link, I think there's still value there. Though I certainly agree that a link to something on itch.io would be useful.

Something I’ve been meaning to ask: what goes into designing your own levels? How do you know as you’re designing it that it’s 1) solvable, and 2) the level of difficulty you’d like it to be, whether that’s easy or hard? Am I overthinking this?

1) Attempt to solve it repeatedly as you build
2) I think if you're here, you probably completed the game and are looking for more difficult ones

Well, I certainly have no desire to dwell on the past, or to have grudges or enemies.  Life is too short for that nonsense, especially over matters that aren't truly important.

Also, so we can get somewhat back on track - here is a level I just made! Nothing fancy, but it's my first attempt:

Let me know what you think! 

@spacepup, you made Squidward!

Is it still ok to post here?

 

Today I saw that there is going to be a re-release of the cart!

In addition to their own projects, the 6502 Collective publishers the work of other developers, helping make cartridge releases of games that might not otherwise get a physical release, or providing re-releases of games that had a physical run before but since ended with their original publisher. Having talked with Beau a fair amount the past several months, I can say they are gearing up for a larger presence with more releases on the way.

Thanks @Scrobins! I'm sure you can agree they're super cool people, too. I've only listened to The Assembly Line, but you have been featured!

For clarity, I'm simply a fan responding to a call.

As a homebrew organization, I wouldn't expect The 6502 Collective to ever have regular content considering that their products and content are created in spare time.

The 6502 collective (Beau from Sole Goose Productions plus the Retrotainment crew) asked for some help getting to 100 subs so that they can be able to customize their URL to something logical.

Very cool. I'm joined now. Thank you for the direction.

Thank you for the warm welcome @BortLicensePlate, @JamesRobot, @Bearcat-Doug, @DoctorEncore, and @Scrobins!

 

@Sumez, I read that nesdev wiki article about vblank/nmi and found it very enlightening. I was definitely of the "do it now" mindset and will keep in mind to save vblank time for drawing with as little logic as necessary. The fact that NMI code will happen during main was also something I had not thought about. I can't say I absorbed everything I read, though. I'm sure I'll be referring back to that page for some time.

I don't expect anyone to look at these or let me know if I've misunderstood anything, but here are the notes I have from following Nerdy Nights, so far.

Sorry for the oily stains, sometimes life just leaves some bacon on your notes.

Thank you for the tips @Sumez! I will definitely read that nesdev page.

I've only heard of mesen since playing with NESmaker but I see it has a Linux version (my preferred environment) so I'll check that out.

Thanks again!

Hello all, my name is Bryce. I'm normally not one to do forums but the Internet brought me here while I was looking for info about homebrew roms to put on my 3ds and after thinking about it for the tenth time, I figured I should join up. I saw there's an introducelf section, so I decided to force myself to step outside my comfort zone because I think it's good for me.

About:
    I've been interested in 6502 since I reacquired an Atari 8-bit PC and then started thinking about making something for NES. I haven't made any progress really, though.

    I have a background in IT and have been through Nerdy Nights using nesasm some, though I'm thinking of switching to ca65. I looked at a handful of other resources, but haven't really dug in yet.

    I am about through listening to all of the Assembly Line podcast episodes a second time (which is really fun), mostly while I mow.
