Getting stuff working in a low-level environment is one kind of fun and working in a high-level language where you only have to think about the logic is another kind of fun. Every programmer should get to experience both kinds of fun in their career. And they can decide which one they like better and want to focus on.

I haven't looked over the project extensively but I'm thinking it may bridge the gap for programmers or newcomers who are not familiar with assembly. You could of course just program a modern game in Python but then you're probably looking at a tech stack. I think this type of game design could be a great starting point as all you need exists in the given environment. I've recently been mulling the idea of an NES programming environment in the browser.

To me the most fun thing about this project is that it looks like a terrific tool for learning and understanding how to write (this particular) assembly language.

You could argue that you want to play your games on this
