Step 9Wrapping Up the Details
Once you create and publish a game, you will have reached a certain cult status among the retro-gaming community. There are a few places around the interwebs where you can sell your games and such. If you've taken the time to learn Assembly and code one game, you've done the hard part, so have fun with it! It's time to get started on your second project, since you've no doubt had a ton of ideas since you started coding.
Also, one other thing I would like to encourage you to do is to share your code with the community. While this does mean that people can use it to make a ROM for themselves of your game, the community still does a pretty good job of supporting homebrew authors through game sales too. Some people won't buy the game without playing the ROM anyway. Of course this is your personal decision, some people feel that creating a game for the community is enough reward for them. This has been instructable numero six, please vote for me if you enjoyed it!

Remember that it's for school, so I write perhaps a bit more than necessary since my project mentor isn't very tech savvy at all.
