Description
Learn to program games for the NES with this comprehensive guide. You'll discover how to create graphics and sound effects, animate sprites, and play background music, as well as decompress title screens and more.
The book includes a web-based IDE where you can see your code run instantly in the browser, and covers various "mappers" that add extra ROM and features to cartridges. You'll also learn how to program the PPU and APU using 6502 assembly language, creating advanced pseudo-3D raster effects.
With this book, you'll be able to create your own games and share them with friends. The examples use the CC65 C compiler and NESLib library, making it easy to get started with programming for the NES.
