So this
guy called Bob Rost is really fucking awesome. Apparently he teaches a class at this place called Carnegie Mellon on how to design, program, and build a Nintendo game.
Jo and I are going to attempt to make one. He figured out most of the programming the other night and was able to make a sprite jump and walk. We want to see if we can produce a decent one and try to make it like River City Ransom.
We'll see.
Oh yeah, and here's more
scholarly articles on the subject, very interesting.
