About

This was an entry to the 2018 Global Game Jam for the theme "Transmission". Making an NES game for the GGJ seemed like a pretty crazy idea, but it ended up being the first of many. I was even more surprised to find I was able to convince others to join in. :D

You can check out the GGJ page to see more, or check out the GitHub page to see the code.

ROM Map

Here's a fun visualization I like. This is all the data in the ROM file interpreted as the NES's native graphics format. Each pixel represents 2 bits, and is arranged into tiles. It's fun to "see" the whole thing, and how little there really is. You can kind of see where the various data segments are, and even see a bit of the graphics even when they are compressed.
