BeatscribeKind of a game-changer for me as a composer. Convert midi files to hUGEdriver format (uge). Includes an extensive manual on how to prepare midis downloaded from the internet, refine the initial mapping, etc. <a href="https://beatscribe.itch.io/midi2uge-hugetracker-midi-convertor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://beatscribe.itch.io/midi2uge-hugetracker-midi-convertor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gbstudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gbstudio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/chiptune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chiptune</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gbdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gbdev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gbdk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gbdk</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/midi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#midi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/rgbds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rgbds</a>

Hylke 🍵I put a bit too much on my plate with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectWhiskers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectWhiskers</a>. want to get something smaller out the door first.my constraints:- 🌇 single screen: focus on core gameplay and make it pretty.- 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 multiplayer: as we can use a bit more connection right now.- 🎮 simple controls: 2–3 buttons at most. 2 players can use a single controller.- 👾 zero sprite flicker: big NES constraint but fun to work around.I love that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a> added <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NES</a> support. I can reuse what I've learnt. just adding colours. :)

Hylke 🍵assets mostly done and within NES constraints which are pretty interesting and fun to work around.now to create a project template and test <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a>'s NES support. :)<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NES</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NesDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NesDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectPeanut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectPeanut</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PixelArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelArt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#8bit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shmup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shmup</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieDev</a>

bbbbbrMade a showcase of games & programs built with GBDK. We love the things people make and want to make them easier to find! <a href="https://gbdk-2020.github.io/gbdk-2020-gallery" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gbdk-2020.github.io/gbdk-2020-gallery</a>- Easy search for open source projects- I scraped a lot from itch io, but likely many still out there to add.

Hylke 🍵oh also! group tiles of the same type together in VRAM so you can see if one is if a type. for example:bool tile_is_solid(tile) { return (tile >= 12 && tile <= 24); }instead of bool tile_is_solid(tile) { return tile == TILE_SOLID1 || tile == TILE_SOLID2 || tile == TILE_SOLID3 || // etc...; }<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectWhiskers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectWhiskers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a>

Hylke 🍵lots of space savings with pointers to structs by using a local proxy variable:a = thing->a; b = thing->b;// do stuff with a/bthing->a = a; thing->b = b;<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectWhiskers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectWhiskers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a>

Hylke 🍵also learnt you can align sprite tiles in memory to state enums, so you can do:set_sprite(first_tile + player_state);this saves a lof of space because no large switch/if statements needed.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectWhiskers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectWhiskers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a>

Hylke 🍵I thought I was being clever by passing around pointers to values, but a pointer is 16 bits, vs 8-bit for a value. so you gain nothing unless for structs/arrays.in fact the generated assembly got a lot smaller by removing the excessive pointer use. recovered a good 1Kb! :)<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProjectWhiskers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectWhiskers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GBDK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBDK</a>
