Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Writing a 6502 emulator in Python
Here’s a working one already https://github.com/mnaberez/py65

Some helpful 65816 programming tools
I use the cc65 toolset to program my 65c02 projects and the py65 emulator to help debug them. I use a slightly modified version of da65, the cc65 disassembler, to create a complete listing of my code, something I find very useful for multi-file projects.

Simulating the 65C816 in py65
I've recommended py65, by Mike Naberezny, for 6502 development and have created several enhancements to it for my own builds (interrupt handling and debug window). Unfortunately, py65 doesn't support the 65C816. Luckily, it's open source and easy to modify, so I thought I'd try adding support for the 65C816.

Adding a separate debug window to the py65 6502 emulator
I didn't understand Python enough at the time. I could probably figure it out now that I know more, but those commands aren't really useful to me for how I use the monitor. I added the continue command which does what I wanted. Interestingly, someone requested that a continue command be added to py65 back in 2019.

Handling 6502 interrupts in py65
Py65, by Mike Naberezny, is a great simulator for the 6502. I recommend checking it out, especially as your 6502 build and code get more advanced. Py65 doesn't handle interrupts though, so if your build uses them, you either need to create a version of your code to simulate or modify py65 to handle your hardware binary. The former is the best option for most people, but the latter might be attractive to folks who don't want to deal with two versions of their code.

Ok, this is a better video than my post yesterday... Improved VGA circuit for my 6502 [currently prototyping] (and with added mouse support 😃)
Thanks for all of the info. It looks very interesting. I'll have to resist getting sidetracked. Not easy to do. I'm currently on another sidetrack adding interrupt capability to the py65 simulator. Not really needed, but it means I don't need to maintain a separate code base for the simulator. It has the added benefit of letting me work with Python.

6502 development 'philosophy??
I recommend cc65 as well and might as well mention the py65 emulator. Both are great tools that have aided my development.

Playing Cosmic Conquest, a old-style real-time strategy game, on my breadboard 6502
Luckily there is a nice 6502 emulator, py65, that makes development easier. Without that I don't think I would have every attempted this. Once I got it running on the emulator it was fairly straight forward getting it to run on the breadboard 6502. Working on the actual hardware did provide some unique challenges though.

Enhanced version of Cosmic Conquest (a Forth based game from 1982)
Thanks. I've been using py65 for my development.

An attempt at resurrecting Cosmic Conquest (1982). PRs welcome. I expect a challenge on this one.
I'll probably be working to get a version of this running in my ANSIish Forth in py65, a simulation of the 6502 in python. Py65 runs fine with terminal escape codes running in a compatible terminal program. I've tried it with Conway's Game of Life which works similarly.

Adding a separate debug window to the py65 6502 emulator
Note that I've coded the debug window to work with my hardware binary which supports interrupts. As such it's somewhat specialized to my build and likely wouldn't work with your build without modification. Let me know if you're interested and I could point out changes needed for you build. Alternatively, I could fork the py65 GitHub and prepare a working version with my build's binary. As an added benefit you could play with my Forth operating system (though if your main interest is that then I'd recommend some better tested versions for the 6502, like Tali Forth 2 for example).

Playing Cosmic Conquest, a old-style real-time strategy game, on my breadboard 6502
For a command line program I started out with getting WOZMON working and then began adding more capabilities similar to the Apple II system of old. I got tired of adding one-off functionality and discovered Forth when looking at programming languages suited for systems with limited resources. Look into TaliForth2 to get up and running fast on your 6502. The full program requires 24k ROM but can be slimmed down to fit in 16k pretty easily. I was inspired so I wrote my own Forth 2012 Standard version over the summer.

Hey anyone tried to write an assembler for the 6502?
I got tired of creating one-off functionality so I'm now working with Forth which is kind of like an operating system/programming language combined. It's pretty easing to get a version of that running on your 6502. Tali Forth 2 by Scott Stevenson ports pretty easily and has an editor, assembler and disassembler.
