Hi,<\/p>\n

I’ve recently been interested in taking part in the upcoming LD#23 but I was wondering if we can choose any platform we wish.<\/p>\n

I’m a bit of an amateur GBA programmer and have been working to build a small library and tool set for use with another upcoming GameJam\u00a0 but was wondering If im free to use it for LD#23.<\/p>\n

I would be using lbigba from devkit pro so its a homebrew library for the GBA.<\/p>\n

Also for the GBA I’ve been building a function library and memory definition library which has not been complied into a library and is just raw c and h file would this still be fine to use?<\/p>\n

If not I can jump back into XNA.<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n
