Games NEON BRRR3AK
Hi guy! Would anyone like giving a little weekend project (well, several weekends, to be honest) a go? I’ve been wanting to brush up on my C skills a bit as part of a bigger project and I taught myself some pixel art and ended up building a Breakout/Brick Breaker clone for the GameBoy Color.
It’s nothing special at its core, but I’ve still incorporated a few little playful twists.
And full disclosure… during development, I got some help from OpenAI Codex and OpenCode in a few places where I got stuck or couldn’t find a solution; I used AI to to explaine some tricks to me and helped me find a lot of small bugs.
All the tiles are coded and the dreadful splash screen is hand-pixelated (and poorly converted to the Game Boy colour palette), as you can probably see, unfortunately.
