Just found out about that: https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB

You can found release here: https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB/releases

Only XSnake have a GG and SMS rom but I guess it's possible to compile the others games (XShoot, XChase, XBomber)?

Indeed, all games written in C with Cross-Lib can be built for about 200 systems including SMS and GG.

The idea of Cross-Lib is to have a universal library for any 8-bit retro-systems (and some 16 and 32 bit ones). The emphasis is not on super cool graphics but it is on universality.

Welcome! I installed Cygwin on my computer (Win10), then you say:

- Install `make` in your environment.

How do I do that?

In the Cygwin installer you can select a package called “make”.

Ok thanks it's done, now I have:

make: Makefile.shoot: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile.shoot'. Stop.

I don't get where to place the library. I tried in cygwin folder, C: and user folder.

[binaries for all games available for sms and gg: see next post]

Sorry guys for not being more explicit and clear.

Cross-Lib still lacks automatic Makefile targets generation...
The way it still works is that Makefile targets are manually added. For most targets this only means copy pasting a target from one target in Makefile.snake or any other Makefile into the Makefile of a game that we want to support.

I need to fully automatize this part... Sorry for the confusion.

Since I see some interest on my games for SMS, I will add the sms and gg targets in Makefile.chase, Makefile.shoot, Makefile.bomber.

I am going to add the 3 older games:

Cross Chase is the current world record-holder for the game with the most parts. It is similar to Gnome Robots but it is an action real-time game.

Cross Shoot is somehow similar to Robotron.

Cross Bomber is a clone of the mini game Blitz (aka Bomber).

In terms of playability, Cross Snake is probably the nicest of my games.

I have now added the sms and gg targets for all four games:

make <sms or gg> -f Makefile.<chase or shoot or bomber or snake>

should build the 4 games for sms and gg

I have attached the binaries for your convenience.

Thank you!

Did you think about SG-1000 versions?

if he's using z88dk, I think SG-1000 it's not supported

SG-1000 and SC-3000 are supported. I can build my games without any modification on the source code also for these systems.

I use Z88DK together with CC65, CMOC, LCC1802, ACK, XTC68, GCC, and many other compilers and cross-compilers (https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB/blob/master/docs/COMPILERS.md) in order to cover about 200 systems.

My games get recompiled and improved all the time even after years.
