Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Very cool project by Ben Fry that shows how 8-bit games used to work “under the hood”. Using the Nintendo emulator NesCafe.

“This is a deconstructed Nintendo emulator that shows how sprites and sprite memory are handled while a game is being played. The intent is to show insight for how software and hardware work, given the relatively simple example of a minimal architecture from an old game console system.”
