They are single files which already contain all you need in order +to have a working program. This means that there is quite a lot of boilerplate +you might not be aware. For this reason I encourage you to start with the +`sprite.s` file, which has a step by step explanation on how the NES is +initialized and what do all these magic "HEADER" and other jargon actually mean. +Anyhow, these programs are as follows: + +- `sprite.s`: detailed explanation on how to initialize the NES in order to have + some background and a sprite shown on screen. Follow along the code in order + to get a detailed explanation on each section. +- `input.s`: how to read the input from one controller. +- `persist.s`: using the MMC1 chip in order to persist data. |
