As a kid, I was proficient in BASIC on the Beeb, but never really got to grips with 6502 assembler. Since getting into retro computing in the last couple of years, I've seen a lot of "homebrew" games on many platforms (not least those on RetroSoftware) and have been inspired enough to have a go myself. I've started learning 6502 assembler, and picked a simple Snake clone as my first project. I believe Snake is the easiest game to code, and is therefore the best place to start, rather than going for the something that's too ambitious for an assembler beginner. JSnake will start off as a very simple game, and will hopefully be expanded as I learn.
