## Why
Some people will ask me: _"Why you did that?"_
Well, a friend asked me _"What PHP can do?"_. I thought about that awhile and
the idea came up. With PHP7's performance improvement now it's possible to
emulate some systems :smile: and, come on, that's funny! :dancers:
It's based on the [GameBoy JS Emulator](https://github.com/taisel/GameBoy-Online).
## Requirements
The following PHP versions are supported:
+ PHP 5.6
+ PHP 7
+ HHVM
You will need a good terminal! I've tested only on MacOSX and Linux. I'm sorry
about that Windows guys :disappointed:
## Running
Before: Put your ROMs files (.gb or .gbc) on "roms/" folder.
```bash
$ composer install -o
$ bin/php-gameboy drmario.gb
$ bin/php-gameboy pokemon.gbc
```
## Controls
```bash
_n_________________
|_|_______________|_|
| ,-------------. |
| | .---------. | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | `---------' | |
| `---------------' |
| _ |
| _|W|_ ,-. |
||A D| ,-. "._,"|
| |S| "._," Dot |
| _ _ Comma |
| // // |
| // // \\\\\\ |
| N M \\\\\\ ,
|________...______,"
```
+ Left = A
+ Up = W
+ Down = S
+ Right = D
+ A = Comma (,)
+ B = Dot (.)
+ Select = N
+ Start = M
## Tests
You can use the following command to run the most common checks, such as `php -l`, `phpcs`:
$ ant check
## TO-DO
Converting from the JS paradigm was a lot of work, and I still need to adapt somethings like:
- [x] Code standard - PSRs, please!
- [ ] Array of functions - Maybe in PHP it's not the best approach
- [ ] Pixel auxiliary array - Very CPU intersive to convert RGBA every time
- [ ] Classes - Core is too big!
- [ ] Profiling and otimizing - XHProf to find the most intensive functions
- [ ] Save/Restore - I need to save my Pokémon, please!
