Bottomless Block Barrage 3DS

Introduction

Bottomless Block Barrage (BBB) aims to be a Panel de Pon clone for the 3ds. Don't know what Panel de Pon, Tetris Attack, or Pokemon Puzzle League. This game is a work in progress but it is currently playable. Currently this is unplayable in citra it is too slow.

Status

As of now the basic engine is complete, work is now being done implementing the various modes. Basic graphics are used now until better ones are found/made.

Game Modes that may be supported w/ status

Endless Barrage - Play until you lose. [DONE]
Score Barrage - Get the highest score in a certain amount of time/lines. [IN PROGRESS]
Puzzle Barrage - Solve all puzzles in a certain amount of moves (Normal and Action modes) [IN PROGRESS]
Mission Barrage - Similar to the same mode in Planet Puzzle League.
Versus Barrage - 2 player game with AI (and possibly online play)

Features

Game

New concept of "Chain link" (clink) in which you match groups of 3 or more rapidly before blocks are removed from the board.
Ability to save replies of your game (For my debugging pleasure really!)

Puzzle Editor

Puzzle editor is complete find the source code here I have already ported all puzzles from tetris attack to my format via my level editor.
- For the Tetris Attack example puzzles see: bottomless-block-puzzles
You can download the windows version of the level editor here. My hope for this is for people to create and share puzzles, if it catches on I will have the app be able to easily download new puzzles from a central location.
For linux systems I have included instructions on how to compile the program with cmake.
I still need someone to produce a binary for Mac systems. But I assume a similar method as described in the repo can be used, just install wxWidgets and use cmake.

Compiling

Prerequisites

Compiling cia and 3ds targets requires having makerom and bannertool in your $PATH
sf2dlib is required along with sfillib with portlibs
devkitPro and ctrulib

Once all of the above is in order simply type make and you will get .elf for citra, .3dsx for homebrew launcher, .cia for emunand, and .3ds for gateway/sky3ds.
If you care not to build everything then just type make [elf, cia, 3ds, 3dsx] to build the corresponding format, or make citra to run it in citra (requires citra to be installed and in your $PATH)
