  • cc65

    cc65 - a freeware C compiler for 6502 based systems

  • There's tools like cc65 that let you write C code for the NES.

  • gbapfomgd

    Source code for the book "Game Boy Assembly Programming for the Modern Game Developer"

  • The same way you learn everything, look at examples, read the docs, and keep trying. I had to write assembly while I was still in school for Comp Sci, in 2017 so people still learn ASM in modern times lol. We did it for the mips architecture. But I wrote a gameboy game a few years ago with ASM, and that would probably be a more fun first assembly project. Here you go: https://github.com/ahrnbom/gbapfomgd
