Stone Constructor
A downloadable game
Overview
Try your hand at a game of Go with a friend on an actual Game Boy, or your favorite emulator.
Created during GBJAM 8!
- A full size Go board on a Game Boy!
- No rules are enforced; that's up to you and your opponent
- This is a playable prototype
- Placed and captured stones are used to guess the winner.
Tools
This game was written in C with the GBDK library. The GrafX2, GBTD & GBMB graphics tools were also used.
Limitations
This is about as simple as a Go implementation can get:
- 2 human players required (no AI)
- No score estimation - stones on the board added up, plus the captured stones, and adjusted with the komi** value of 7.5 to guess the winner.
Tested on:
- Real hardware
- BGB emulator
