Please note that out of the box, SGDK only works on Windows. You can download the latest version here. Once you have Java installed, it’s time to install SGDK. The latest versions of SGDK use Java to compile resources, which lets it do some pretty powerful and cool stuff. If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate to post them in the comments below!īut now, without further ado: Let’s get this show on the road! Setting up SGDKīefore you set up SGDK itself, you need to install Java if you haven’t already. While I will try to make everything as simple and accessible as possible, don’t forget that coding for retro platforms is tricky.
This tutorial will lead you through every step of making this game, from setting up your environment to the collision code. No it’s not gonna knock any blue hedgehogs off the shelf, but it’s a very good game to learn the basics of Mega Drive programming. The game is over when the ball leaves the screen at the bottom. Each time you hit it you’ll receive points and when you’ve hit the ball a certain number of times, it’ll get faster. It is a very simple single-player Ponglike where the goal is to keep the ball in play for as long as possible. I will show you how to set up your development environment, how to import graphics, how to put things on the screen, how to control them and have them collide… This awesome piece of software allows you to program games for the Mega Drive in C instead of ASM, which makes things a whole lot easier. Welcome to my new tutorial series on Mega Drive development! In it we will be creating a Mega Drive game from scratch using SGDK, the Sega Genesis Development Kit. Update: Updated SGDK installation instructions to reflect the latest version.
