I will make a quick GBA game and post it soon.
I said that I would, so I did. 900 lines of code later, here it is.
The game:
You control the airship, which must defend the left side of the screen from attacking evil angry faces. You loose points for letting the enemies get to the left side of the screen, and get points for shooting them. When 25 enemies are killed, you win and your final amount of points is displayed. Be careful, the enemies move increasingly faster! To discourage cheating, you are killed if the number of escaped enemies is greater than the number of killed enemies. Obviously, you die if an enemy runs into you :p.
Controls:
Start  - begin the game
A Button - shoot
D - pad - move
How to play -
Open the ROM with you're GBA emulator of choice. I use VisualBoyAdvance (PC) for debugging, it has a built in disassembler so it's really useful for development. If you're on a mac I recommend Boycott Advance, but any GBA emulator should do the trick. I haven't tested this on actual GBA hardware, but theoretically (if you took the time to flash a ROM) it should work fine. Â Â Â
EDIT - I forgot to add, once you download the ROM remove the .txt so the extension is .gba. File hosting sites like to treat ROMS as text files for some reason.
Screenshots -
All of the programming and all of the sprites were done by me, except for the airship sprite (which I got off the internet) and the font (it's the standard GBA font). The rest of the sprites are not representative of my spriting ability, I made them in 2 minutes in MS paint.
