Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A CLI that makes bootstrapping a GBA game with butano a breeze

Readme

init-gba

A CLI that bootstraps a GBA game project with Butano.

Important

This has only been tested on macOS. Windows and Linux support is not guaranteed, but contributions to make it work on those platforms are welcome.

Why

Setting up a GBA project with Butano involves cloning repos, wiring up Makefiles, setting paths, and renaming template files. This tool does all of that in one command.

Install

npm install -g init-gba

Usage

init-gba create

Creates a new GBA project from a Butano template.

init-gba create

This will interactively ask you for a project name, directory, Butano path, and other options.

Non-interactive

init-gba create --name my-game --non-interactive

Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | --name, -n | string | | Game name | | --dir | string | ./<name> | Target directory for the project | | --butano-path | string | ~/Documents/butano | Butano installation path | | --butano-repo | string | https://github.com/GValiente/butano.git | Butano git repository URL | | --template-path | string | <butano-path>/template | Path to the template folder | | --template-token | string | template | Template token to replace in files | | --rom-title | string | derived from name | ROM title (uppercase, max 12 chars) | | --rom-code | string | derived from name | ROM code (4 uppercase characters) | | --force | boolean | false | Overwrite target directory if it exists | | --non-interactive | boolean | false | Fail if required input is missing | | --yes, -y | boolean | false | Accept defaults and skip prompts | | --skip-deps | boolean | false | Skip devkitPro dependency checks | | --skip-git | boolean | false | Skip git init | | --skip-makefile | boolean | false | Skip Makefile generation | | --skip-update | boolean | false | Skip checking for Butano updates |

Examples

Create a project with defaults in the current directory:

init-gba create --name my-game --yes

Specify a custom Butano path and skip dependency checks:

init-gba create --name my-game --butano-path ~/butano --skip-deps

Set ROM metadata directly:

init-gba create --name my-game --rom-title "COOL GAME" --rom-code COOL --non-interactive

init-gba doctor

Checks your environment for common Butano/devkitPro issues.

init-gba doctor
