DS Homebrew Mario's Cement factory Game and Watch
=== INTRODUCTION ===
In 1984 I got my second ‘handheld’ console: the G&W Mario's Cement factory. And now I programmed this version for the DS homebrew.
This is the result and I hope you like it.
A video showing the game can be found on YouTube: Nintendo DS Homebrew game Mario's Cement Factory.
Some information:
- Gameplay identical to the Game & Watch Mario's Cement Factory.
- Each level becomes gradually more difficult: more carts carrying cement and more missing elevator steps
- Background graphic 'borrowed' from 'Game and Watch Gallery 4'.
- All other graphics created from a picture taken from my G&W Mario's Cement Factory.
- All sounds recorded from a playing session with my G&W Mario's Cement Factory.
[ Yes, my G&W Mario's Cement Factory handheld is still working !]
The game is created using devkitpro: https://devkitpro.org/. Good introduction tutorials to using devkitpro and DS programming: https://patater.com/files/projects/manual/manual.html
