This version expands the limit to over 4,000 arbitrary elements per single font asset (The previous version supported a maximum of 256 elements). Accompanying this change, a new arb(...) statement has been added to get the arbitrary index of a specific font asset of a Unicode cha
This patch update includes a bunch of bug fixes. It also introduces new features such as importing tiles, map, actor, and font assets, or project icon, and icon of desktop builds from .psd files, and generating font and i18n reference code. Tutorials: See full changelog:
This update introduces support for overriding Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) in BASIC code using named assembly blocks. It also adds a comprehensive internationalization (i18n) pipeline featuring compile-time dictionary lookups and dedicated asset management, alongside a new L
This update introduces direct calls to user-defined assembly instructions. Updated the RAM symbols. Improved the VRAM debugger and graphical editors. Optimized the wobble effect. This version also includes other improvements and bug fixes. Tutorials: See full changelog:
This release includes significant improvements to the kernels, adding support for using the SFC/SNES mouse as a click/touch backend via SGB features, along with a very simple yet fun speech synthesis feature. Both features are present in the official kernel source code. Please no
This release mainly includes numerous improvements to the BASIC compiler. Which includes a new constant folding mechanism, enhancements to macros - and leveraging these features - optimizations in expression evaluation, and conditional compilation directives as #if ... #else if .
This update introduces a number of enhancements to the syntax and compiler, adds a mechanism for passing macros via build command line arguments, and includes various bug fixes. Tutorials: See full changelog:
This update adds error visualization in the edit-as-image mode for the map editor, along with tiles and actor assets analysis features to help build more compact and organized assets. The map's edit-as-image mode now saves image data to the project file, allowing editing to resum
This update brings significant enhancements to the map editor. New support for local palette has been added, allowing referencing, previewing, and code exporting of palette locally within a specific map asset. Additionally, when importing map assets from external images, you can
This update introduces the syntactic sugar load dialog to simplify initializing chat-style GUI operations. This version also optimizes RPN data fetching and calculation, improves VM instruction execution, optimizes building flags for the kernels, and boosts performance in certain
This release introduces a new VRAM debugger, which allows for verification and debugging of graphics element allocation in VRAM during development, and supports learning and referencing the VRAM usage patterns of other ROMs. This version also upgrades the underlying libraries, GB

This release introduces support for custom kernels, allowing users to replace the default game runtime for their projects. The editor now supports installing and selecting custom kernels. Added new syntax to support more flexible actor control. It also includes many other improve
This release introduces support for SGB features. It also includes a number of quality of life improvements, for instance, direct preview for map, scene, and actor assets with one-click. The memory related statements have been updated to support getting bank and address of assets
This release introduces support for importing and managing external ROMs, providing greater flexibility for developers working with existing game assets. There are two new sprite properties available `BANK_PROP` and `OBJPAL_PROP` which enhanced coding flexibility for CGB sprites.
This release introduces a public Tutorials platform, which provides a learning environment that is easier to read and practice with than the built-in documentation. Currently, about one-third of the content is complete, with subsequent content to be updated gradually. You can fin
