To build game files, run build.sh in bash (Git bash is recommended for Windows). The following files generated will need to be loaded to the X16 filesystem:

• CHASVALT.PRG - Program that needs to be loaded by BASIC. Simply LOAD "CHASVALT.PRG" then RUN, or auto-run with the emulator from this directory: path/to/x16emu -prg CHASVALT.PRG -run
• TILEMAP.BIN - 128x128 map of 16x16 tiles, loaded by program to VRAM
• LOADMAP.BIN - 32x32 map of 16x16 tiles, loaded to VRAM to display load screen until final tilemap is loaded.
• SPRITES.BIN - 16x16 4bpp sprite frames, loaded by program to VRAM
• TILES.BIN - 16x16 4bpp tiles, loaded by program to VRAM
• PAL.BIN - custom palette, loaded by program to VERA register
• SPRTATTR.BIN - initial sprite attributes, loaded by program to VERA registers
• STARTBG.BIN - start screen background bitmap, loaded by program directly to VRAM at start
• BITMAP.BIN - game level background bitmap, loaded by program to banked RAM at start, then replaces STARTBG.BIN in VRAM after start
• NORMX.BIN - vector normalization X-value lookup table, loaded by program to banked RAM
• NORMY.BIN - vector normalization Y-value lookup table, loaded by program to banked RAM
• MUSIC.BIN - music for YM2151 FM synthesizer
• WINMUSIC.BIN - music for winners only

Build requirements: gcc, cc65
