Quantum Burst

A bullet hell style space shooter written for the Sega Genesis.

Development

Development is set up for Windows only and has been tested only on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is assumed that you have Git and Git Bash installed.

Prerequisites

• Python
• Java

Build

A build script is provided that will process all the files under game/res, game/inc and game/src to produce a rom.bin file in the game/out directory. After this is done the checksum will be calculated and rom_final.bin generated with the correct checksum.

./build.sh [-b|--build-type <build-type>] [-r|--revision <revision>] [--rebuild]

• -b|--build-type - Can be any of Debug, Release, Clean or ASM. If omitted will default to Release.
• -r|--revision - Can be any integer value of 99 or less. If omitted will default to 99.
• --rebuild - Will run a Clean before a Debug or Release build. This has no effect on other build types.

Debugging

Sadly, most tooling doesn't allow good, feature-rich debugging; it's recommended to use the log() helper along with the Gens KMod emulator to do log-based debugging.
