#rgou

The Royal Game of Ur, now on your Game Boy Advance!

Work-in-progress game board design:

#playing

TODO

#building

#dependencies

• Fully working devkitARM installation
• make (GNU, but any version should work as no GNU-specific features are used AFAIK)
• Aseprite (optional, used for editing sprites)

#compiling

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~nytpu/rgou
cd rgou
git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
make

After running make, you can find the finished ROM at build/rgou.gba.

#modifying

It should be pretty self-explanitory, but there are a few caveats

If you modified graphics at all, you must regenerate the bin files manually (using a command like cd graphics && fd .png ../art/ -d 1 -x grit {} -ff). make will take care of creating the GBFS file and adding it to the finished ROM for you though.

#thanks

• devkitPro for their amazing devkitARM toolchain, complete with a custom libc and gcc, without which I wouldn't have even thought of attempting anything with the GBA.
• cearn for his wonderful tonclib as well as his very in-depth and useful tonc tutorial. Without these tools and references, I would have been totally unable to make anything like this.
• Damian Yerrick for GBFS, which makes it so much easier to include graphics and other binary files in the game.
