Awesome

NOTE! Nim and dkP's libtonc don't work together due to conflicing definitions of bool.

This is fixed in the devel branch of Natu, so it's recommended to use that for now.

Quickstart: After installing devkitARM and Nim:

git clone https://github.com/exelotl/natu
cd natu
git checkout devel              # switch to devel branch
git submodule update --init     # clone libtonc and maxmod submodules
nimble install                  # install the lib and asset converter to ~/.nimble
cd examples/hello_world         # go to an example
nim build                       # run the "build" nimscript task

Natu is a package for making Game Boy Advance games in Nim.

Originally a wrapper for libtonc, we are now growing in our own direction: ditching some old conventions to be more Nim-friendly, and adding more libraries.

Features

• Full GBA memory map + flag definitions
• BIOS routines
• Interrupt manager
• A powerful text system (TTE)
• Surfaces (draw to tiles like a canvas)
• Efficient copy routines
• Sin/Cos/Div LUTs + other math functions
• Fixed-point numbers, 2D vector types
• Random number generator
• Hardware sprites, affine matrix helpers
• Color/palette utilities
• Button states (hit, down, released)
• mGBA logging functions
• Maxmod bindings for music/sfx
• Posprintf wrapper for string formatting

Usage

For docs and setup instructions go to natu.exelo.tl

The examples can be found at git.sr.ht/~exelotl/natu-examples

Happy coding! And if you need any help you can reach me (exelotl) on the gbadev discord, #natu irc channel on EFnet, or ask a question on the natu mailing list.
