NES game that is also a Twitch chat client

### Description:
**This NES ROM has yet to be tested with a TAS replay device.  This notice will be removed once it has been successfully tested with a TAS replay device**

This is an NROM NES ROM that is also a Twitch chat client that connects to Twitch using a TAS replay device like the TAStm32.

### Platforms:
- GNU/Linux

### Build Dependencies:
- asm6 _(You'll probably have to build asm6 from source.  Make sure the asm6 binary is named **asm** and that the binary is executable and accessible in your PATH. The source code can be found at **http://3dscapture.com/NES/asm6.zip**)_
- zip

### Build NES ROM:
From a terminal, go to the the main directory of this project (the directory this README.md file exists in), you can then build the NES ROM with the following command.

    $ make

The resulting NES ROM will be located at **bin/twitch-nes.nes**

### Cleaning Build Environment:
If you used `make` to build the payload binary, you can run the following command to clean up the build environment.

    $ make clean

### NES-ZIP Polyglot File
After building the NES ROM, you may notice that it is also a functioning ZIP file.  Unzipping the NES ROM will extract the source code for the NES ROM.  This allows the NES ROM to be a Quine of sorts, where everything required to create the NES ROM from scratch is self contained in the NES ROM. You can unzip the NES ROM with the following command.

    $ unzip twitch-nes.nes

Unzipping the NES ROM will result in a directory called **discord-nes**, which will include all of the source code for the NES ROM.
