The first official NESmaker development competition has begun! All of the pertinent details can be found on the website, www.TheNew8bitHeroes.com . For the next four weeks, I will be generally off grid, monitoring but not intervening. My hope is that you all work as a community to develop some amazi...

For everyone who does not want to use any type of scrolling and wants a base engine that is a bit more like the beta or 3.x versions (see website tutorial on CORES to see some differences), here is a module that works with the Basic_NoScroll, which can be found in announcements. If you downloaded 4....

In this thread, there are two new CORES, and an explanation on how to use them. BASIC_021019 - This core is effectively a replacement for the current Base core, with a bunch of patch fixes, some deeper comments in some of the code, and a good general base core update for 4.1.5. We have made it a sep...

Hey all - it is Jan 3rd. With the influx of traffic to the site this morning, we had to make a few quick changes. We are also going to patch a bug that involves the Game Object interface in 4.1.0 that we noticed as we were zipping it all up for you. Everything should be back to normal by this evenin...

Oh, it certainly WOULD be handy. However, path tiles can create comprehensive, complex shapes that would take MANY rows of tiles to create, whereas you couldn't fit as many tiles in the same space as you could paths data wise. This was very calculated over 5 years of using it, how to maximize and ma...

While I love the enthusiasm for this, I also must say that even as a fan game, this can violate copyright laws. Here’s the bigger issue -et’s say you are correct and that you have the right via fair use...if a copyright claim WAS filed, do you have the ability to combat a major corporations legal de...

You COULD even make your own CONSTANTS for these colors...like this (in the constants file):
And then to call them, instead of having to remember numbers, you could just:

This is a strange issue that we've only seen once out of every ten thousand times, so every time we think it's fixed, it suddenly appears again. I personally have NEVER experienced it, yet Austin has experienced it several times! If you could screen cap it happening...like do a thing..when you notic...

Yes! As of right now, SFX need to end in a null note or note stop, otherwise that channel will get in a loop.

Famitracker -> NES is still sort of a band aid solution while we're working on our music composition tools.

Might also be worth being able to tag the action steps with names since there is all that space. For the player especially, you could put like "stand, walk jump attack" in there so you can easily remember which state was what action when you're creating.

Great ideas, btw.
