Hi! Just saying that I think I’m making something for the mini LD running over this weekend. I had a reasonably awesome idea: make a game for the gameboy advance. I’ve been working on another project recently (Portal for the gba), so I have a bit of experience

I’m using an ancient version (circa 2005) of the Dragon BASIC compiler for the gba. It’s pretty neat, and of course, the language compiles to actual machine code to run on the gameboy (duh!).

I have to use bitmaps for all of my graphics, so paint.NET will be the way to go. I also need to do some amazing magic on most of my images, so that they are actually 16 color, and properly 4bpp.

If I do ever actually finish something worth playing, it’ll be in the form of a gba rom. This means it’ll need either an emulator (Visualboy Advance is great) or an actual GBA and a flash cartridge to run.

Hope to see some interesting entries in the low-level jam 😀
