Core Native GBA

This project is a basic micro-gameengine to run lua in the Nintendo Game Boy Advanced, which can be expanded to a custom engine, such as Gly Engine or Love2d.

⚠️ Attention
there is no sanitization, error handling or observation of resource consumption, all of this takes up precious CPU time, bad code will make the game crash with a black screen. Developing a multiplatform game with desktop support is recommended, especially for testing Lua code!

Building: Pong Example with Gly Engine

cmake -Bbuild -H. -DGAME=@pong

make -C build

Building: Pong Example with Love2D

cmake -Bbuild -H. -DGAME=@love:pong -DENGINE=@love

make -C build

Building: Your Own Game with a Self-Made Engine
