Create my first program

Test template program

First try to compile and run the template program:

• Go to MSXgl\projects\template
• Execute build.bat
• Go to MSXgl\projects\template\emul\rom, check if template.rom exists and try it on your MSX machine or emulator.

Note: If you have configured an emulator path in MSXgl\projects\default_config.cmd, you can edit build.bat and change "set DoRun=0" to "set DoRun=1" to allow auto-launch of the built program.

Create your project directory

Now that everything work well, let's create your own program.

You can sure start a new project from scratch, but for this example lets duplicate template directory an rename it mygame.

Rename template.c<tt> to <tt>mygame.c.

Setup your project

Edit build.bat:

• Change ProjName to mygame.
• Set Machine to the version MSX hardware you want to support for your program.
• Set Target to your target format. Let's say ROM_ASCII8 (default ROM size for mapper is 128 KB).
