@dangc8k The command would be like:

rgbgfx --unique-tiles --output tileset.chr --tilemap tilemap.tlm background.png

Hope that helps!

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@dangc8k @dangc8k The command on page 82 is just meant to teach you the syntax of rgbgfx. There is no "tilemap.png" perse. However, you should be able to use any PNG file in https://t.co/REBi4i2hJx. For example, if you use "background.png", the command will output a TLM file and CHR file.

@Tokepiz Haha thanks! Proofreading would be very welcome. Please don't hold your breath though. :)

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

The physical version of Game Boy Coding Adventure is now available on Amazon stores across the world.
Thanks again for your support.

As always, I wish you all the best on your Game Boy programming journey.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@Tokepiz One day. :)
I want to eventually cover all major 8/16 bits systems + a few of the 3D ones. At my current pace, that's gonna take decades for sure ahah.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

RGBS v1.0.0 is now available. The samples, tools, and games for Game Boy Coding Adventure all build fine with it, so I encourage you to upgrade.

@BeesFear @nostarch It is never too late.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@Folade_ @nostarch I used to sell the old version on Gumroad. The reviews were pretty good. Please have a look.

@yaredcox @nostarch This is about programming all the variations of the Game Boy, not about writing emulators.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@wepeelis @nostarch If you are talking about drawing sprites, basically the art aspect, then no.
Maybe you could check https://t.co/yqBFMsKFBD. I was told it is pretty good, but I haven't read it myself.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@_Sattari_ @nostarch You don't need a physical Game Boy. BGB and Emulicious are two good emulators for development.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@p_au_l_o @nostarch I obvisouly agree, and would argue it is a very productive way to waste your time. :)

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@KarlHerdersch @nostarch Yes, the Game Boy is 36 years old. It is never too late!

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@block_muncher @nostarch @tomooshi_ Every programming language has its area of application. I would argue that assembly is the best language to program the Game Boy by far. But, would I use it for writing PC tools or a modern rendering engine? Definitely not. :)

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@raddevus @nostarch There are many Game Boy emulators. For development, BGB and Emulicious are two good options.
As for where to get the hardware, that depends on where you live unfortunately. You don't absolutely need the hardware though, unless you want to release a game.

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@FBXGargoyle @Voultar @nostarch Haha, this one made me laugh. And there is (unfortunately) some truth to it. I can guarantee there is no AI running on the Game Boy though. :)

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@Marsmensch @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro Excellent! Thanks for your support!

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

The print version of Game Boy Coding Adventure looks great! Thanks @nostarch!

[Maximilien Dagois @MDagois]

@Marsmensch @nostarch @gbdev0 @modretro I don't think there are any bundles yet. As far as I know, you get the digital version when you buy the physical one from the No Starch Press website.
