| Well this is the closest thing for this... anyways, does anyone have a compiler and tutorials on how to make GBA games from scratch? I know it can be done, I just dont have it... I have the GB C to rom compiler somewhere, but I want the gba one. Help would be greatly appreciated. | |||

Originally posted by NebetsuI'm sure it would, but what you made doesn't require any programming.Originally posted by windwaker Anyway, you're other option would be to program the game from scratch with assembly, but that would require a lot of heavy reading-up and likely some brainache, so that wouldn't be your option for quick results. Unless of course, you have some suitable programming experience in that area, in which case you may be able to learn a lot faster.  |

| What language and program did you write it in? I managed to print some text in C, but that's just calling a library function. | |||

| how about using HAM?, along with Visual HAM, and its very easy, the only thing is there is a created with ham splash screen when you make any rom, but that doesnt really matter, and HAM is really easy to use...at least I think its easy to use, an really easy to draw lines, print text, etc, except im having trouble with bitmaps... http://www.ngine.de/site/index.php its a german url, but its english, so is HAM.

| a warning...kinda...when you get the newest version of HAM, goto http://console-dev.de/visualham/ and download the newest version of visual ham, along with the update (they are both at the bottom of the page) that makes compiling the project alot faster, and adds more features. something that took 5 minutes to do lol...

well, I just figure out how to load bitmaps to the Background without it messing up... and the code is in C and you can use C++ and the src for that image i just showed is 20 lines and looks like: #include #include "gfx/test.raw.c" #include "gfx/test.pal.c" int main() { ham_Init(); ham_SetBgMode(4); ham_LoadBGPal((void*)test_Palette,256); ham_LoadBitmap((void*)test_Bitmap); ham_FlipBGBuffer(); while(1) {} return 0; } edit: I made a little test game, it shows the ham slashscreen(mandatory), my splash screen(had to code myself, using the picture from that BG) and 2 sprites on screen(a blue ball with red dots, and there is no alpha blending, so it has a white box around it(dont know how to use alpha blending yet)) http://www.freewebs.com/gbadev/test3.zip (to lazy to get better hosting...lol) (edited by Dcahrakos on 10-20-04 02:39 PM) |

| actually, im still trying to figure that out, I was trying to draw a line on top of text, and below text, but I couldnt, but also, the draw text function is mostly for debugging purpose, im not sure what a good way to make text with bitmaps is...I know ham comes with a charset generator...which makes bitmaps out of size and fonts....ill edit this post when I figure some things out.

Originally posted by Dcahrakos Sounds cool. I'll look foreward it. Haha. I havnt progressed anywhere. I spent like a couple hours on doing stuff with this other tutorial and then I havnt found the time since to do any more GBA developement tutorials. Probably because the thing I'm working on is very intimidating. |
