Interface is in browser, has example code for various functions, famitone, and shriu's library. Announcement text below.

"We've added yet another platform to the 8bitworkshop IDE, the legendary Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)!

You can program in both C and 6502 assembler, and there are a ton of examples to get you started.

The IDE lets you write C using the cc65 compiler toolchain. While it has lower performance and greater code size than a well-written assembly program, you can still write a pretty good game in C. We use a fork of Shriu's NESLib library to interface with NES hardware features, and Famitone to play music and sound.

The IDE also contains a handful of 6502 examples. They demonstrate how to initialize and warm up the PPU, basic display, scrolling, and controller management, and advanced tricks like scanline cycle counting and X/Y split screen."
