Pounder is a very simple program that plays drum samples when the corresponding button or joystick press is made.
Pounder is coded in C and compiled with GBDK.
Installation
Play it using an emulator or on real hardware with a flashcart.
User guide
Pounder is comprised of one scree, pressing the following buttons trigger the corresponding percussion sample:
- Up - High Hat.
- Down - Crash Cymbol.
- Left - Snare Drum 1.
- Right - Snare Drum 2.
- A - 909 Bass Drum 1.
- B - 909 Bass Drum 2.
- Left+A - Low Tom.
- Right+B - High Tom.
Pressing Select switches between the 5 banks/drum kits, labelled A through E.
Pressing Start cycles through the delay settings. At 0 delay, there is no delay after a sample is played and the next sample is triggered immediately afterwards while any trigger button is pressed.
Besides the implications this lack of delay has when a button is held down for long periods of time, 0 delay can also cause incidental "double time" triggers when the user presses a button once, but does not release the button within the 0.25 seconds it takes for a sample to play. By moving to the 1-5 delay settings, this "double time" trigger effect becomes less likely to occur.

Compatibility
It can be run on any real Gameboy and/or Gameboy emulator.
