Planet Chili

Does anyone know if there is a free tool to convert 6502 assembly to c/c++ ? I've been checking Google, but so far I could only find some paid services that are asking for lots of money.

I see a lot of functions in there.
Hopefully, I'll be able to spend some more time on C++ and this project over the weekend.

I'll keep this in mind. It sounds like the kind of issue one may encounter any time.

I had thought I'd check to see if I could find the source code of one of my most favorite games of all times which is Prince of Persia (the original that was developed by Jordan Mechner in 1980s, not the Ubisoft series). I was hoping it could be C/C++ and I could just play with it while trying to le...

This looks interesting. I'll try to take a closer look at it later today.

So, apparently, even though Windows SDK has DirectX SDK in it, you still need to install DirectX SDK separately so that you won't have the lib problems I mentioned. I find that weird but what matters is that I don't have the lib problems anymore.
Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the help. :) I have installed DXSDK_Jun10 on Win 7 64 machine and it solved the problem despite the installation giving an error at the end while trying to install Visual C++ Runtime. The error is this: "Setup failed. Errors were encountered during installation of redistributable packages...

Hi, I've been having this issue every time I try to download sample codes including Chili's tutorial materials. First, I am using VS 2012 on a Win 8 64 and on another machine with Win 7 64. Same thing happens with both. What is happening is that when I download and run codes from this site I get the...

OK I finished reading all the posts in this thread. So, it is a vertical scrolling shooter. It's probably a better idea than trying to do an RPG which will probably require immensely more than basic graphics and coding, or a 2D platformer like the Prince of Persia which had (if I remember correctly)...

I'd love to join this. However, I don't think I can contribute a lot at the moment since I am a beginner with some basic to intermediate previous programming knowledge. I am totally new at C++ and game programming, watching Chili's videos and trying to learn. I like the idea of a 2D platformer, like...
