Prompted by a recent GB paint program demo, taking a lil detour to try hooking a #SNES Mouse directly up to #GameBoy (snes controller protocol over link port).

Commited a few crimes with the latch and clock polarity (signal inverter not here yet), but it still manages to ~work on a DMG.

I put a bit too much on my plate with #ProjectWhiskers. want to get something smaller out the door first.

my constraints:

- 🌇 single screen: focus on core gameplay and make it pretty.

- 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 multiplayer: as we can use a bit more connection right now.

- 🎮 simple controls: 2–3 buttons at most. 2 players can use a single controller.

- 👾 zero sprite flicker: big NES constraint but fun to work around.

I love that #GBDK added #NES support. I can reuse what I've learnt. just adding colours. :)

assets mostly done and within NES constraints which are pretty interesting and fun to work around.

now to create a project template and test #GBDK's NES support. :)
