Dicebag is a simple dice rolling program for the Game Boy Advance.
Features
- An example of using an array to store data about the state of the dice.
- Examples of how to use the HAM library to initialize background modes 0 and 4.
- Examples of interacting with a tiled map mode, and use of layered backgrounds. Text appears on bg layer 1, and the dice image appears on bg layer 0.
