Den of Snakes, a new homebrew game for the Four Player #GameBoy adapter (dmg-07).

- The title screen oversells it, gameplay is very basic :)
- If you have a 4 Player adapter and play it, would love to see pix.
- Find bugs or problems? let me know.

Screenshot of the game title screen with the text Den of Snakes, and a drawing of four snakes emerging from the DMG-07 four player adapter ports. Each snake has a different facial expression

Screenshot of the game with four snakes, three are light colored (other player) and one is black (your player). There are hearts and skulls on the board

In the breakdown by version people are mostly using current releases (as in other gb jams) for #GBstudio, #GBDK and #ZGB when making games.

Though a few people use (much) older versions.

#Minesweeper on the #GameBoy as it was meant to be played 😎

Forked a open source #GBDK minesweeper by Alberto Cozzi to add #SuperNintendo Mouse support via the link port.

https://github.com/bbbbbr/mine_gameboy_snes_mouse

After a SNES Mouse the next logic step would be... a USB Mouse on #GameBoy.

Modified the Inside Gadgets USB keyboard adapter firmware to work with a mouse.

Open source #GBDK example:
https://github.com/bbbbbr/gameboy-usb-mouse

Prompted by a recent GB paint program demo, taking a lil detour to try hooking a #SNES Mouse directly up to #GameBoy (snes controller protocol over link port).

Commited a few crimes with the latch and clock polarity (signal inverter not here yet), but it still manages to ~work on a DMG.

@pixelambacht It's a nearly identical clone with a few register address and bits changed.

Kind of a pain to rom patch GB games for it, but not hard to target if you're building games from scratch (it's a build switch in #gbdk , though if you do music you need a modified sound driver).

The MegaDuck people never made any games that used the link port, but I determined it has identical behavior and pinout as Game Boys. The port is bare header pins but easy to make an adapter for.
