Tutorial 1: Bubble Wrap

In our first tutorial we will be making a little game where we’ve got a grid of bubbles, and we can pop them one by one with a satisfying little popping sound.

Here’s what mine ended up looking like, but you always have the freedom to experiment and make yours your own!

What we will learn?

• Core Butano setup and loop
• Backdrop settings
• Handling button presses
• Sprite basics
  • creating
  • positioning
  • scaling
  • graphics indexing
  • sprite limits
• LibreSprite spritesheets
• C arrays vs bn::array vs bn::vector
• Nested arrays and nested loops
• Logging with BN_LOG

It’s gonna be a fun one! What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
