@dangc8k The command would be like: rgbgfx --unique-tiles --output tileset.chr --tilemap tilemap.tlm background.png Hope that helps!

@dangc8k @dangc8k The command on page 82 is just meant to teach you the syntax of rgbgfx. There is no "tilemap.png" perse. However, you should be able to use any PNG file in github.com/mdagois/gca/tr…. For example, if you use "background.png", the command will output a TLM file and CHR file.

@MDagois hey max, in page 82 where you run the rgbgfx, it returns error that tilemap.png does not exist No where can I find tilemap.png in the resources repository. Any idea where I should look?

world's only first-person sheet of paper

@Tokepiz Haha thanks! Proofreading would be very welcome. Please don't hold your breath though. :)

@MDagois If you need future proofreading, I'm here. 😁

The physical version of Game Boy Coding Adventure is now available on Amazon stores across the world. Thanks again for your support. As always, I wish you all the best on your Game Boy programming journey.

@Tokepiz One day. :) I want to eventually cover all major 8/16 bits systems + a few of the 3D ones. At my current pace, that's gonna take decades for sure ahah.

@MDagois The next book is about the SNES? 😁

RGBS v1.0.0 is now available. The samples, tools, and games for Game Boy Coding Adventure all build fine with it, so I encourage you to upgrade. github.com/gbdev/rgbds/re… nostarch.com/game-boy-codin…

@BeesFear @nostarch It is never too late.

@nostarch I wish I knew assembly so I could make rollercoaster tycoon city

Learn assembly by doing what you always wanted as a kid: playing with your Game Boy. Available now at major retailers. nostarch.com/game-boy-codin…

@Folade_ @nostarch I used to sell the old version on Gumroad. The reviews were pretty good. Please have a look. mdagois.gumroad.com/l/CODQn

@nostarch Who has bought this book is it legit?

@yaredcox @nostarch This is about programming all the variations of the Game Boy, not about writing emulators.

@nostarch This is so neat! I can't quite tell from the description - does this get into programming/emulating the CPU itself of the Game Boy? Or is this just about programming games for it?

@wepeelis @nostarch If you are talking about drawing sprites, basically the art aspect, then no. Maybe you could check pixellogicbook.com. I was told it is pretty good, but I haven't read it myself.

@nostarch Does it also teach how to create the sprites?

@_Sattari_ @nostarch You don't need a physical Game Boy. BGB and Emulicious are two good emulators for development.

@nostarch What if you don't have a game boy? Is there an emulator or something to practice this book?

@p_au_l_o @nostarch I obvisouly agree, and would argue it is a very productive way to waste your time. :)

@nostarch This is so useless but so cool but so oudated but so new but so boring but so fun, it is amazing at the same time a waste of time but so useful.

@KarlHerdersch @nostarch Yes, the Game Boy is 36 years old. It is never too late!

@nostarch I wish I had this when i was 8... May get it for fun. Better late than...

@block_muncher @nostarch @tomooshi_ Every programming language has its area of application. I would argue that assembly is the best language to program the Game Boy by far. But, would I use it for writing PC tools or a modern rendering engine? Definitely not. :)

@nostarch @tomooshi_ Oh gosh. 🤮 Threw up in my hands. I learned assumbly once back in HS and it’s a HORRID way to automate/create things. Don’t wish it on my worst enemy.

@raddevus @nostarch There are many Game Boy emulators. For development, BGB and Emulicious are two good options. As for where to get the hardware, that depends on where you live unfortunately. You don't absolutely need the hardware though, unless you want to release a game.

@nostarch Looks interesting. Is there a GameBoy emulator? Also, where do I get GameBoy h/w once I've developed a game?

@FBXGargoyle @Voultar @nostarch Haha, this one made me laugh. And there is (unfortunately) some truth to it. I can guarantee there is no AI running on the Game Boy though. :)

@Voultar @nostarch The person who wrote it works at Google. I'm surprised they haven't been replaced by AI yet, since the execs there want to use nothing but AI for everything. They already let AI run YouTube.

@Marsmensch @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro Excellent! Thanks for your support!

@MDagois @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro Ty! I was afraid because of int shipping, but there's a 31% discount over at @nostarch atm and therefore ordered the bundle just now. 🙏

The print version of Game Boy Coding Adventure looks great! Thanks @nostarch! @gbdev0 #gamedev @modretro

@Marsmensch @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro I don't think there are any bundles yet. As far as I know, you get the digital version when you buy the physical one from the No Starch Press website.

@MDagois @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro Looks amazing! Are you aware of any bundles available? I'd like to support you and get the paper and ebook version.
