GB Assembly tutorial WIP
This tutorial will guide you from a basic Hello World, to making an Arkanoid clone, and ending with a Shoot-'Em-Up, touching upon everything you need to know to make a Game Boy game.
This guide is still work in progress, only the first lessons are available.
Pan Docs
The definitive Game Boy technical reference. Contains descriptions of all hardware registers, many behaviors (such as rendering and audio), and even pretty diagrams!
Read →hardware.inc
For over 20 years, hardware.inc has been a staple of essentially all RGBDS projects, providing all sorts of constants to allow easy interaction with Game Boy hardware registers.
rgbds-structs
RGBDS does not (currently) support "structs" (data structures) natively. This macro pack provides that functionality, all in a single file that you can freely INCLUDE anywhere in your projects.
gb-boilerplate
This simple template project allows getting started on your next GB project more quickly. The provided Makefile allows simply adding new .asm files in a single folder, and make builds your ROM!
gb-starter-kit
gb-starter-kit is “gb-boilerplate Plus”: the same build system is included, plus some basic code such as a LCD-safe copy, a crash handler, and a data compressor + decompressor.
