Block Blast! DS

An accurate, comprehensive and fun DS port of the hit mobile game Block Blast! by Hungry Studio (includes DSi enhancements).

Building for Nintendo DS (primary)

Requires devkitPro with nds-dev installed:

export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM
make

Output: BLOCK-BLAST-DS.nds — copy to your flashcart SD card (R4, etc.).

Or with CMake:

cmake -B build-pc -S .
cmake --build build-pc
./build-pc/BLOCK-BLAST-DS-PC
