C++ Library for Game Boy Advance Development
It's a C++ library for GBA homebrew development. Focused on better API and abstraction, so programmers can focus more on game logic and call functions for effects instead of thinking in a too low-level way.
A lot of statements are being written with C++11/14/17 features, so, the requirements are:
To build this project, after installing the Requirements and cloning this repository, enter the cloned repository's directory and run:
$ meson build --cross-file cross_file.ini
If you want to build examples as well, add -Dbuild-tests=true
to the command:
$ meson build -Dbuild-tests=true
After building the examples (see Building), you'll need a GBA emulator. My personal recommendations are:
Examples are compiled into the build/tests
directory. So to run, say,
alphablend
example, you should open build/tests/alphablend.gba
with your
emulator.
There are two main contributions for the knowledge necessary to make this library: one is the greatly well explained tutorials TONC by J Vijn (which I really want to thank him for making it), and the other is the great GBA Techical Manual by Martin Korth.
