Hacking the NES With Lisp
Andy Hefner has a detailed blog post covering his quest to program an NES with the assistance of Common Lisp. He developed a new 6502 assembler, a mini-language for composing musical sequences, and a neat demo (rom image).
Bravo, Slashdot. This is the kind of stuff that the geek crowd finds interesting. Is it useful? Nope. Is it cool and borderline bizarre? Yep!
Slashdot used to post a lot more of this stuff before it became an advocacy site. I'm so sick of patent, copyright, and Pirate Bay articles I could cry blood.
By the way, noticed that the "News For Nerds. Stuff That Matters." tagline is gone?
