Off Orbit GB

Off Orbit reborn¹ for the original Nintendo Gameboy. Off Orbit is an asteroids style game where firing the ship's weapon also moves you in the opposite direction.

🧪 Development

This game was built on Linux (Windows WSL) with GBDK-2020 and the following tools/libraries:

• BGB emulator for testing the built dist/off-orbit.gb file
• hUGETracker for creating src/sound/music.c by exporting raw/music.uge to GBDK format.
• hUGEDriver for playing src/sound/music.c in game.
• GBTD for creating tiles and exporting the data to .c files.
• GBMB for creating tilemaps and exporting them to .c files.
• Pyxel Edit to edit composed sprites easier (split pasted into GBTD).

🔨 Build

1. Download the latest release of GBDK-2020 (v4.3.0 at this time).

2. Extract to a sibling folder of this project called gbdk.

   ├── off-orbit-gb
   └── gbdk
   

3. Run this script from the base directory to create dist/off-orbit.gb:

   ./bin/build.sh

🚀 Run

Drag the built dist/off-orbit.gb file into BGB to test it out.
