NES Programming

How would you program a complex game, like RTS or Roguelike, in the context of NES constraints?

NES Roguelikes are pretty much the buld of RPGs on NES

Start at the beginning and proceed until the end.

sounds like imperative boomergramming to me

imperative/procedural, that is

it's all about OOP and functional paradigms now, mang

I think the first console roguelikes were on SNES (the early Mystery Dungeon/Shiren games), and when it comes to indie stuff the 'worst' hardware I could think of is GBA (POWDER). NES is definitely weaker than SNES and GBA, as well as mainframes and minicomputers on which early roguelikes were played, but I do think it is doable. the aforementioned SNES and GBA roguelikes have solved the interface problem (as traditionally, those kinds of games required a full keyboard) but I think the biggest issue you'll face will be getting a decent RNG to run on an 8-bit processor without taking a lot of time. maybe look up Atari and C64 maze generators?

NES has small RAM amount, compared to C64.

this is true, that's why it's generally going to be a challenge to write an RNG that makes interesting levels. but those algorithms might be a good starting point given that their're are 8-bit but still don't make samey boring rooms
