I'm a few days late on #ScreenshotSaturday (is #ScreenshotMonday a thing? lol), but I’m determined to post nonetheless!
I spent the weekend exploring some of the newly added concepts on Natu's development branch, particularly the additions of “scenes” and “systems”. To do this, I rewrote one of the Natu examples to use scenes and systems. Check it out!
@wyatt @kawa Until archive format overhead becomes the limiting factor for size.
At one point in early 2002, I briefly considered using the UNIX tape archive (tar) format to bundle assets in a Game Boy Advance game. Many of these assets were 2048 bytes or smaller. I looked up the spec for a POSIX tar file, and it involved rounding up each file's size to a multiple of the 512-byte block size and adding a 512-byte block header. That kind of overhead adds up. On top of that, searching for a particular file in a tarball takes linear time, not constant or even logarithmic time.
That led me to devise and document a simpler, more fit for purpose archive format called GBFS. Other specialized archive formats may benefit from packing files so as to avoid crossing 16K, 32K, 64K, or 128K block boundaries in the medium.
@wyatt I'm curious which console's homebrew scene you're subposting about. The communities I'm in use a standard protocol.

I've been (very) slowly working on a GBA platformer. Basically I write a line or two while I make breakfast for the kiddos.
Today, I implemented animation states, starting with just an idle state and a walking state. A small change, but it's really cool how much more "alive" it makes it feel. Animation as "the illusion of life” indeed!
(That walking animation needs a lot of work 🤣)

I guess I'll just release this now, documentation for the GBA e-Reader: https://nytpu.com/nintendo-e-reader/
I was gonna wait until I made a real e-Reader game to try and catch the mistakes that are certain to be in it, but as usual it looks like that'll never happen so I'm just releasing it now.
I realized I never posted any screenshot of "Aereven: Sleeping Azure", the upcoming improved PC version of my GBA game "Aereven Advance". So here it is, a little side-by-side comparison. PC on the left, GBA on the right! #gbadev #gamedev
