Rusty GBA dev test

Just a test project displaying and testing the capabilities of the Rusty GBA library.

Provides the code, but also the build system to create a .gba file from scratch, using indications of the awesome gba crate.

Can be used as a template to simply start a new project with Rusty GBA.

Usage

# Launch the built ROM
cargo make run

# Only create the ROM
cargo make create_rom

# Only build the code
cargo make build

# Only compresses the assets
# Will build the assets compressor if not present
cargo make assets

# Perform tests
cargo make test

# Deletes all the generated contents
cargo make reset
