### [The Hat Chooses the Wizard][hatchooseswizard]

![Level 1-4 of the game "The Hat Chooses the Wizard" running on a Game Boy
Advance](hatchooseswizard.jpg)
_Runs on real hardware!_

The Hat Chooses the Wizard is a 2D platformer for the Game Boy Advance.

It was made for this year's Game Maker's Toolkit (GMTK) game jam with the theme
joined together and came in the top 25% of over 5800 entries. The game plays
over 12 levels with the core mechanic being to throw your hat and then
accelerate towards it. You can play it on a web based emulator embedded on the
[itch][hatchooseswizard] page.

The game is written in pure Rust and uses [agb][agblibrary] to
interface with the hardware. The library is designed to allow you to write games
without needing a detailed understanding of the hardware while still giving full
access to all of its capabilities. It is under active development with
plenty more features on the way.

You can find the source code for the game [here][hatchooseswizardsource] and all
feedback is welcome.
