Hello everybody
I have seen NESMaker before, but as a father of 3 younger kids, I haven't had a lot of time over the past years. Long story short, the pandemic brought some old video game stuff out of storage, next thing I know, some family members see pictures of me and my kids playing them, and they start giving me various video games and systems. My oldest kid (8) never got into the retro games and likes to play the switch, but my middle son loves to play NES with me and since I work from home and they know I program things, he asked if I could make a video game and that's what brought me to here today.
My day job has always been related to programming, building, and supporting automated equipment in manufacturing. I used to work in plants, now I train other engineers to commission machines and help troubleshoot. So, some code from scratch, but a lot of going behind code that's already written and just either trying to understand it or maybe fix it (if that's needed). The equipment I work on is programmed a few ways but one of them is in a low level assembly code. So, I am hoping this part of my background will serve me well, as I've been following some youtube tutorials already and see there is no way around getting into assembly scripts, which I look forward to doing.
Have a good day
