Can you put the finished game on a cartridge and play it in an NES

or can you just pm me the things i need and where can i download it

@OrganMan007 A text editor and NESASM is all you need. But if you want to do graphics there are programs. If you Google "NES development" or "NES bitmap editor" you can get a lot more things than I can put here.

what program didya use? and what da hell is the tools thingy?
-
@OrganMan007 Not sure what you mean. The only game makers for NES are for modding existing games. If you want a new game you have to code it from scratch. There are tools to make some things easier but actually coding it requires writing assembly.

why clone a game that did what you're doing better.

@Nettikturbo it's not a clone - I'm just using the sprite as a placeholder.

Cool, looking good so far. :D
I see you're using Lua to switch between screens(?).
I, too, used it a lot for debugging and prototyping during the early stages of my platformer engine.

hey miau. Actually the screen switching is all in the asm. I threw the LUA in there so people watching the video could tell which direction I was moving.
btw, thanks for all those lua scripts you wrote for fceux. They really helped me figure out how to use lua. If I had thought of it earlier, I would have used LUA for the screen coords instead of wasting my time ripping fonts and programming the display :) LUA is awesome for debugging.
