Create your own Gameboy game!

With all the retro gaming I do I decided to do some quick searches for a way to create my own Gameboy game to load the rom to a cartridge and play. Well I found one...

GB Studio lets users create 2D mini-games without any programming, thanks to an Electron application. You can design your graphics in any editor that creates PNG files, and music comes courtesy of GBT Player. When you're done, you simply export as a ROM file that can be played on Windows, Mac and Linux. You can build a HTML5 version that works on mobile, and if you have a USB cart, you could even play your games on that now 30-year-old Game Boy you've hung onto since the 90s.

I can't wait to take a wack at this and see what I can drum up and the play on my original Gameboy handheld or my retro modded hand held!
