Let me start off by saying this is my first time joining a form and I apologize in advance if I mess anything up. haha
Let me start off telling you a little about myself. My name is Matt H. and I am 36 years old living in York, Pennsylvania. I travel for my job doing a type of architectural inspection on buildings by simulating hurricanes and other type tests. Most of my work is in New York City & Washington DC. Growing up my first system was the original NES and I remember my friends and I dreaming about working for Nintendo and making our own games. I stumbled upon nesmaker a few months ago, watched the documentary and I must say what a brilliant idea. I'm new to the program but am learning quickly.
Messing with code was always a side hobby of mine never a job. I started learning C++ in high school and made my first DOS game (black and white blackjack with cheat codes lol) then later on made a submarine DOS game with color but very limited (the game was over in 30 seconds). It stopped there until much later on I discovered Arduino and learned a lot about programming micro processing chips for real world applications. So for the past 10 years I build machines for fun (ex. full automatic green house, old style jukebox playlist controller, full sized photo booth and lots more)
I am very excited about nesmaker and feel I can now do what I dreamed about when I was a kid. For my first game I am working on I am using character designs and other ideas from my step daughters (10 & 14) so they can have an old-school game that they can say is theirs and be proud of. I am slowly learning how the scripts work but will be searching for a resource that explains how every command called out works in the scripts.

Sorry that was long hahaha and thanks in advance for everyone patients.

Welcome Winterbeast3

We are happy to have you with us (^_^)
NESmaker can be a really fun tool to use with kids. I do NESmaker sessions with my 7yo son, too. He loves working on his games. He does all the graphics and design the screens, the monsters, the boss, .... I just help him on the technical parts (scripts and objects settings).
Can't wait to see what you will create with NESmaker :)
Most important is watching the tutorial videos, (Youtbes and also some older ones more about scripts, on vimeo https://vimeo.com/joegranatoiv)

Have fun!
