I tried an hour, it still not work~

Zii, I'm working in a simple tutorial and a README for early steps. Also limitations and whats comming next.

There is a how to run, on the basic readme file that i've just created.

F:\dev\py\nes>python pynes py hello.py -o hello.nes
usage: pynes [-h] [-p FILE | -a FILE | -c FILE] [-o FILE]
pynes: error: unrecognized arguments: py test.py

I install pynes 0.1, it panic on my windows~

I believe you need dashes in front of "py", like "--py", or use "-p".

However, I am stuck generating an empty output file when I attempt to
compile the hello.py example.

G:\dev\ipc>python nes.py -p hello.py -o hello.nes

pyNES - Python programming for Nintendo 8bits

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -p FILE, --py FILE   compile python
  -a FILE, --asm FILE  compile an asm file
  -c FILE, --chr FILE  import chr
  -o FILE, --out FILE  output file for compile and convert

@bwallace I got an empty nes too~

@bwallace add the -a (to also generate the asm file), that might help figure out what's going wrong. Also taking a second look on the tutorial, I see that I missed a step. You must have the player.chr file, that is include in the moving sprite example.

@zii, I've never instaled pyNES in windows. I still dont get what's going wrong.

I've create a chat room in the gitter.im. I think that would be a better place for us to chat. Please, fell free to join!

@zii @bwallace Follow those steps:

  • Clone the github repo (IMPORTANT, don't install it using pip!!!)
  • cd pyNES and execute sudo python setup.py install
  • Copy the required .chr (all of them inside the fixtures directory) into the examples folder
  • Execute pynes py helloworld.py -o helloworld.nes inside the examples folder
