Zig GBA

This is a work in progress SDK for creating Game Boy Advance games using the Zig programming language. Once Zig has a proper package manager, I hope that it would as easy as import the ZigGBA package. Inspired by TONC GBA tutorial

Setup

This project uses submodules, so post clone, you will need to run:

git submodule update --init

Build

This library currently uses Zig 0.14.1.

The tool anyzig is recommended for managing Zig installations.

To build the examples with anyzig installed, clone this repository and use Zig's integrated build system like so in the root ZigGBA directory:

zig build

This will write output ROMs to zig-out/bin/. These are files with a *.gba extension which can be written to a GBA cartridge or which can run in emulators such as mGBA, Mesen, and NanoBoyAdvance.
