Building instructions? #1

Closed dag7dev closed 5 years ago

Hi! I discovered your repo some minutes ago, instructions on how to build the source files? Due to the absence of screenshots, I can't tell about the game, the concept seems to be cool!

Thanks!

Hey, I'll be adding GIFs shortly!

You could try out the following commands in Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tricksterguy87/ppa-gt-cs2110
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi cs2110-vbam-sdl mednafen cs2110-gba-linker-script nin10kit

and then run make emu

However, mednafen seems a bit buggy, and I was only able to build this in a Docker file specific to the class I did this project for.

I used nin10kit for converting images to C arrays.

I've updated the readme with build instructions that get you up to the start screen, but you can't start gameplay because none of the buttons seem to be registered.

Basically, run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sergio-br2/vbam-trunk
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vbam-sdl vbam

cd to the appropriate directory, and then run make vba or vbam Game.gba.

Thank you! I will definitely give it a try!
