making a program loader for the gameboy will be a small project he said
it'll be easy he said..


it took me 3 days to write a working print funktion in GBZ80 assembly from scratch, with it being 160 lines of code and 5 selecteble strings.

the reason for that is thanks to me wanting to make the words automatically change to a new line, and only using 18 bytes for a buffer to store one single line of text before moving it to video memory.

but it's done, the next might be to make it possible to use this funtion outside my own code, just so programers can use it in programs they send over to the system runing this program, then they don't need to worry as much about all this as I did

Seams like the Linux version of the Gamejolt client has a flag set to addition while rendering on top of what's under the window. (it's just a guess, but it's what I get from this issue) hope it's possible to be fixed soon @gamejolt
