Merry Christmas!!!
(I know that it is technically not christmas yet but still)

I was learning how to use GB Studio to make homebrew games for the Gameboy and GameBoy Color! I decided to port over one of my favorite makecode arcade games as a christmas present to everyone! Also, you can play it on your actual gameboy color or original gameboy using some sort of flash cartridge or cartridge flasher!

Woah, how did you get the text do to that?
Also, DANG that music is a BANGER!!!

[Sarge]

Cool! I love the music, it’s a bop! Just one thing, the controls are a little weird, I had to mash my keyboard to figure out how to move!

Jingle bell

Jingle bell

Jingle bell rock,

Jingle bells swing

and

Jingle bells ring,

Snowin' and blowin,

Up bushels of fun,

Now the jingle hop has begun,

Jingle bell

Jingle bell

Jingle bell rock

Jingle bell

Chime in jingle bell time,

Dancin' and Prancin in jingle bell square,

In the frosty air!

Merry christmas guys
and happy holidays.

Oh yeah, heres the link to the song:

GREAT music!

[Luke]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

[randomuser]

Hahaha, neat little forum game!

[Brohann]

Thanks for the compliment! The emulator on the website uses pretty basic keybinds.

arrows - d-pad
wasd - d-pad
z - a
x - b
enter - start
shift - select

Pretty much the same as makecode.
Also, if you like the music you can say thank you to Beatscribe because I didn’t make it.

Anyway, I ended up getting a gameboy catridge flasher for christmas and I threw together this prototype:

The finished cartridge will have

• a lime green gameboy color shell
• an actual sticker instead of a piece of paper glued to the shell like I did in the prototype
• hopefully art for the sticker instead of a screen shot with some text on it

lol I guess I’ll need an artist

[KIKIvsIT]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I wanted to post a note here letting y’all know that many of the forum regulars wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

To keep the forum from getting too cluttered, we won’t be letting all of the individual posts through in their own threads, but you all are welcome to post your merry wishes here!

Cheers,
~Kiki

That’s adsorbable, You actually made the cartridge!

[_jupiter]

WHAT???
(sentence)

[Sarge]

Merry Christmas and a happy new 2024! Hopefully we get to see many cool new projects in this new year!

[Luke]

@Brohann

I’ll need an artist

hmm…

Made with Aesprite
First time doing something organic at this scale what do you think? I decided to trace the outline from this:

because I could not be asked to do proportion lol
Also fun fact this resolution is 160x120 so this compatible with makecode!

[randomuser]

Looks awesome!! I love the dithering (I think that’s what it’s called XD)

[Brohann]

Nice!
is this supposed to be for the title screen, cartridge label sticker thingy, or is it just some random or promotional art?

[Luke]

I don’t really mind lol

@Brohann

an actual sticker

Maybe this

[Brohann]

[Sarge]

Wow, it looks so good on a cartridge like that!
