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.
