Building from source

Requires GBDK-2020 (gbdk-2020 v4.2.x or newer) and GNU Make.

• Windows: download the latest GBDK releases, unzip it, and point the build at it. The default search path is C:/gbdk; override it with the GBDK variable (e.g. make GBDK=C:/dev/gbdk-2020).
• Linux/macOS (and GitHub Actions): fetch and extract the gbdk-linux64 release from the GBDK releases, then run make with GBDK=/path/to/gbdk exported.

Build the ROM:

make clean
make -j8

The output is bin/POCKETDASH.gb. Music playback uses hUGEDriver; its prebuilt lib/hUGEDriver.lib is included in this repository.
