GBDK includes several sample programs both in C and in assembly. They are located in the examples directory, and in its subdirectories. They can be built by typing make in the correnponding directory.
There are several different projects showing how to use ROM banking with GBDK.
Illustrates how to use communication routines.
Demonstrates how to use the optional GBDK crash handler which dumps debug info to the Game Boy screen in the event of a program crash.
The colorbar program, written by Mr. N.U. of TeamKNOx, illustrates the use of colors on a Color GameBoy.
Deep Scan is a game written by Mr. N.U. of TeamKNOx that supports the Color GameBoy. Your aim is to destroy the submarines from your boat, and to avoid the projectiles that they send to you. The game should be self-explanatory. The following keys are used:
RIGHT/LEFT : Move your boat A/B : Send a bomb from one side of your boat START : Start game or pause game When game is paused: SELECT : Invert A and B buttons RIGHT/LEFT : Change speed UP/DOWN : Change level
Demonstrates various graphics routines.
Examples of how to work with the built in font and printing features.
A C translation of the space.s assembly program.
The gb-dtmf, written by Osamu Ohashi, is a Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) generator.
Illustrates how to install interrupt handlers.
An example of how to use the LCD ISR for visual special effects
The paint example is a painting program. It supports different painting tools, drawing modes, and colors. At the moment, it only paints individual pixels. This program illustrates the use of the full-screen drawing library. It also illustrates the use of generic structures and big sprites.
Arrow keys : Move the cursor SELECT : Display/hide the tools palette A : Select tool
The rand program, written by Luc Van den Borre, illustrates the use of the GBDK random generator.
The ram_fn example illustrates how to copy functions to RAM or HIRAM, and how to call them from C.
A basic RPN calculator. Try entering expressions like 12 134* and then 1789+.
Demonstration of playing a sound sample.
A collection of examples showing how to use the Super Game Boy API features.
The sound example is meant for experimenting with the soung generator of the GameBoy (to use on a real GameBoy). The four different sound modes of the GameBoy are available. It also demonstrates the use of bit fields in C (it's a quick hack, so don't expect too much from the code). The following keys are used:
UP/DOWN : Move the cursor RIGHT/LEFT : Increment/decrement the value RIGHT/LEFT+A : Increment/decrement the value by 10 RIGHT/LEFT+B : Set the value to maximum/minimum START : Play the current mode's sound (or all modes if in control screen) START+A : Play a little music with the current mode's sound SELECT : Change the sound mode (1, 2, 3, 4 and control) SELECT+A : Dump the sound registers to the screen
The space example is an assembly program that demonstrates the use of sprites, window, background, fixed-point values and more. The following keys are used:
Arrow keys : Change the speed (and direction) of the sprite Arrow keys + A : Change the speed (and direction) of the window Arrow keys + B : Change the speed (and direction) of the background START : Open/close the door SELECT : Basic fading effect
