Move Sprite Demo not working #6

Closed Runkunkun closed 2 years ago

Runkunkun commented 2 years ago

Hello I did set up everything according to the description on my Mac. When i build in the move sprite folder and load the rom afterwards with mGBA the spaceships shows up on screen but it doesnt move. Other roms work just fine.

Hi! When abouts did you install Natu? There was an issue last week where all the examples would hang on VBlankIntrWait() because I forgot to initialise the global interrupt handler, but this was fixed in commit https://github.com/exelotl/natu/commit/149bf84c59b15d3592a49771dae9e53f96a38b49.

I just tried the move_sprite example on my machine (Manjaro Linux) and it seems to work fine, I can move the ship with the d-pad / arrow keys.

@Runkunkun If you're on the latest commit of Natu and it's still giving you trouble, please zip up the whole move_sprite directory (including the generated nimcache folder) and upload it here, that should give me enough info to see what's going wrong.

move_sprite.zip

@exelotl thanks for the help. I am on the newest commit on the devel branch now.

Hmm, it seems that irq.init() is indeed not being called. Try reinstalling and doing a clean build?

cd path/to/natu
nimble install
cd examples/move_sprite
nim clean
nim build

Reinstalling and doing a clean build was the secret sauce. Thanks a lot for the help, I am still new to nim.

Sweet! Glad it was something simple at least ^^

If you're looking for a bigger example that makes use of the asset system (rather than using preconverted asm files for graphics), you might want to take a look at xniq

Apologies for the lack of docs, I'm slowly working on it but it'll take a bit longer :sweat_smile:
