Me: "Assembly language is so complicated, it's impossible to understand it, there's so much complex code going on to just load a sprite to VRAM"

The Game Boy ASM code vs Pseudocode of loading sprite to VRAM:

Me trying and failing miserably to figure out how to import my own tilemaps into the game without needing to manually hardcode them in assembly.... it did not go well...

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!

(Also, @noelfb.bsky.social, I feel it might be easier to just mark you now than just "invade" every game dev post you make to share updates lol)

After a little hiatus, I finally messed around with my gameboy breakout codebase from following a online tutorial, this time, after changing the image on the left to my profile pic, I now changed the paddle's sprite.

Well, the collisions are much better now... tho the physics do leave a lot to be desired lol

After such a long time, i was finally able to get myself to open my code editor again and this print definetly reminds me of something I heard @maddymakesgames.com saying once about assembly bugs being really funny, lol

Added a way to reset the ball upon death, and rng to the ball's initial trajectory :)

Another day and more progress on me following a assembly tutorial for the #gameboy, I changed the code slightly to separate things into multiple files, I still want to change the pixel art as well later.

After working all night, I was finally able to get this stupid cow to learn to move on the x-axis, and it was due to things that were 100% my fault.

Well, the jump doesn't work perfectly, but you can't infinite jump anymore, also made movement smoother.

Finally got that demo working as intended, ended up having to ask on the gbdev discord (which I didn't want to do, for... personal issues I have there...), but oh well..

That feeling of realizing that I'm yet to learn to implement any kind of sound or music on the gameboy...

Here's a question, if you use a cow/Madeline hybrid as your sprite for your platformer demo, does it count as a Celeste Fan Game?

Trying to get parallax working on my demo here on the gameboy, did I get it to work? nope, at least it didn't break it to much, the end result just didn't change.

Assembly is so tricky lol.

Finally managed to fix the animations, after hellish days of refactoring my entire player code, constantly breaking things over and over again, I finally fixed it...

Changed the sprite so it's no longer transparent, but I also tried adding new animation frames, but I can't get they to work, AAAAAAAAAH!

Got tired of my breakout clone, so I decided to make a little demo for the gameboy involving background scrolling. This took a lot more work than it should to get functioning...

Update on my Gameboy parallax demo, it's definetly more... Parallax now, but also very glitchy, and PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING or Motion Sickness warning, I dunno

The basic mechanics were already done, but I decided to change my jump implementation a bit, just to make it more consistent, even if still feeling janky and floaty.

New gameboy prototype, tho the color pallete on the background layer is flipped a bit for some reason...

Screenshot of my new 2d sidescroller prototype for the gameboy running on the BGB emulator, the colors for the tiles are a flipped for some reason, but otherwise, it's working fine.
