Among Us DS 🎮

This current demo consist of:

• Using the arrow keys or touch screen to move the character around.
• Pressing start will swap between the top and bottom screens.

Build Instructions

I ran this on Windows 10, so assume a mostly typical Windows 10 environment. If you're doing this on Unix, hopefully it works without any major changes. The only thing is that make images probably won't work. If you want to tweak the images, you'll need to extract the grit commands from the batch files.

Follow the instructions at https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started to install devkitPro. Install it with libnds.

Git clone https://github.com/DeathCamel57/libgl2d_ds and follow the installation instructions.

Using the nflib directory from https://github.com/PolyMarsDev/Snake-DS, which should be a compiled version of Nightfox's Lib.

cd to this directory and run make and hope like heck that the build environment works and that it doesn't depend on some obscure Windows 10 thing that I had preinstalled.

Images

For images, they need to be in Indexed mode (Image > Mode > Indexed Color), and then exported as .bmp (forced into 8bit). Then use the GRIT tool in the NFLib checkout with Compile_Backgrounds.bat.

This has been simplified to just running make images.

Sounds

To convert sound files to RAW format I used Switch as recommended by NightFox. I exported as Mono, 8 bis signed at 11025hz for sound effects, and 22050hz for background music.

Thanks To

HUGE thanks to Cesar Rincon or "NightFox" - http://www.nightfoxandco.com/ While I'm no longer using his libraries verbatim, they were overwhelmingly the backbone for this project.

These Github repositories were a huge help at varying stages of the development cycle. https://github.com/Mika-Westphal/FlappyNDS https://sourceforge.net/projects/nflib/ https://github.com/PolyMarsDev/Snake-DS https://gbatemp.net/threads/ds-programming-for-newbies.322106/page-8#post-4445495 https://github.com/devkitPro/libnds/blob/master/include/nds/arm9/video.h

sprite animation using nflib

Hello, not an issue with this project per se, but I saw that you got animation working well on this homebrew and was wondering if you had a method of doing this sprite animation in 4 directions using NFLib? Please do let me know, and thanks in advance!
