_Runs on real hardware!_
138+
139+
The Hat Chooses the Wizard is a 2D platformer for the Game Boy Advance.
140+
141+
It was made for this year's Game Maker's Toolkit (GMTK) game jam with the theme
142+
joined together and came in the top 25% of over 5800 entries. The game plays
143+
over 12 levels with the core mechanic being to throw your hat and then
144+
accelerate towards it. You can play it on a web based emulator embedded on the
145+
[itch][hatchooseswizard] page.
146+
147+
The game is written in pure Rust and uses [agb][agblibrary] to
148+
interface with the hardware. The library is designed to allow you to write games
149+
without needing a detailed understanding of the hardware while still giving full
150+
access to all of its capabilities. It is under active development with
151+
plenty more features on the way.
152+
153+
You can find the source code for the game [here][hatchooseswizardsource] and all
154+
feedback is welcome.
