Re: graphics tutorials?
Hey.
To make your sprites/tiles, the easiest way is to use GBTD, and to make maps you can use GBMB. Both are found here: http://www.devrs.com/gb/hmgd/intro.html
When you export your tiles, remember to pick how many tiles you wish to export, and not just 1.
here're some nice beginner tutorials: http://www.retroisle.com/others/nintend … re/dev.php
and here's some reference on graphics functions: http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/doc/html/c0504.html
for sprites you'll initially need set_sprite_data(), set_sprite_tile(), and move_sprite().
for backgrounds you'll initially need set_bkg_data() and set_bkg_tiles().
the functiones are pretty self-explanatory and are well documented.
