'''hUGETracker''' is (or will be) a music tracker program for the original Gameboy. I've always wanted to create a tracker, there doesn't seem to be a mainstream option for the classic Gameboy, and I'm taking a course on compilers/x86 assembly, so it seems like the perfect exercise. The plan is to use an existing Gameboy emulator as a sound engine, then build the tracker interface in Pascal with Lazarus, with an assembler in Prolog probably. Since it seems the only Gameboy emulator out there written in Pascal was released in 2000 and has severely broken audio emulation, I'm currently [https://github.com/SuperDisk/UGE fixing it up as an exercise in emu dev]. Once that's done it's on to the music editor and then the assembler.

Until then, enjoy this empty page with no tangible progress on it.
