Re: I want t make a GTA CLONE FOR THE GAMEBOY
Well, I hope GBDK can handle such a thing, as it's based off a C-to-Z80 compiler using a snapshot from a LONG time ago. I personally would never rely on it for a thing like a GTA clone; you'd be better off with ASM (which, of course, can have a huge learning curve).
What do you mean by clone, anyway? Like the old top-down GTA games? As if so the Gameboy already has those. If you're talking something 3D, then uh...good luck, but that probably won't happen.

Re: I want t make a GTA CLONE FOR THE GAMEBOY
Do you plan on using assembler or C? If C, I'm not sure if GBDK can handle such a project or not.

It will be a 2D style game just like the late 90s GTA game

Yes, I get that, but I'm asking what programming language you will be using. C (GBDK,) or assembly.
