# nesdev
I’m just playing around, not meant to be useful for anyone but me :)
## Getting started
Install [cc65](http://cc65.github.io/cc65/) (a freeware C compiler for 6502 based systems)
```bash
brew install cc65
```
Add Vim syntax highlighting for the ca65 assembler using [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim)
```vim
Plugin 'maxbane/vim-asm_ca65'
" ASM ca65
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.s set filetype=asm_ca65
```
### Emulators (running under OS X)
- [Nestopia](http://0ldsk00l.ca/nestopia/)
- [FCEUX](http://www.fceux.com/)
I’ve also been using a few different NES emulators written in Go:
- [nes](https://github.com/fogleman/nes) (my favorite so far)
- [nintengo](https://github.com/nwidger/nintengo)
## Read the [Programming NES games in C](http://shiru.untergrund.net/articles/programming_nes_games_in_c.htm) article
and then
## Watch the [NES C Programming Examples video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvgz5sY5xUw)
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvgz5sY5xUw)
## Makefile for the [CC65 NES examples](https://shiru.untergrund.net/files/src/cc65_nes_examples.zip)
```make
compile = \
ca65 crt0.s; \
cc65 -Oi $(1).c --add-source; \
ca65 $(1).s; \
ld65 -C $(2).cfg -o $(1).nes crt0.o $(1).o runtime.lib \
all: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1:
$(call compile,example1,nrom_128_horz)
2:
$(call compile,example2,nrom_128_horz)
3:
$(call compile,example3,nrom_128_horz)
4:
$(call compile,example4,nrom_128_horz)
5:
$(call compile,example5,nrom_128_horz)
6:
$(call compile,example6,nrom_128_horz)
7:
$(call compile,example7,nrom_128_horz)
8:
$(call compile,example8,nrom_128_horz)
9:
$(call compile,example9,nrom_128_horz)
clean:
rm *.o *.nes
```
With this makefile you should be able to compile all of the examples under OS X.
