... not really...many games can work by just rewriting the actual graphics part. imagine anything along the lines of point-and-click adventures for example. ...
... Likewise, the core gameplay code (tetanus.c) of Tetanus On Drugs changed much less from PC to GBA than the I/O code did. Even on a 16 MHz machine, I/O...
... scripts are interpreted (also true if they are precompiled to bytecode), while C is compiled into actual machine language. other than that there is no real...
Hi. My two cents. ... In theory, not too much. In practice, overhead -- scripts are generally interpreted, usually at a bytecode level; scripting languages...
... You can find many games written in python (not for the gba btw), which i think is great. Here you have the best of both worlds - a language which has a...

Hi all, The Apex Audio System (AAS) is an extremely efficient audio mixer and Protracker MOD player for the GBA. Its main features are a low memory footprint...
