Dicebag is a simple dice rolling program for the Game Boy Advance.

Features

• An example of using an array to store data about the state of the dice.
• Examples of how to use the HAM library to initialize background modes 0 and 4.
• Examples of interacting with a tiled map mode, and use of layered backgrounds. Text appears on bg layer 1, and the dice image appears on bg layer 0.
• An example of the HEL library - specifically the hel_Splash function.
• Monitoring user input in a controlled fashion to manipulate the dice variables. Specifically using a press/release action before processing input for most actions, and using a press and hold action for viewing roll details.
