How difficult is it to make a game for a gameboy advance
• libtonc - a low-level C library providing direct access to the hardware • Butano - a high-level modern C++ engine • gbaplusplus - a low-level modern C++ library • gba-modern - a batteries-included modern C++ project template • BPCore - an engine that uses Lua scripting, similar to PICO-8 • gbsenpai - can be used to port GB Studio (v2.0 only) games to GBA • agb * - a crate for Rust users • libseven * - a new replacement for libtonc • ugba * - a C library that can also target PC • Natu * - a toolkit using the Nim language

what systems have easy libraries?
If you can deal with modern C++, I'm working on an engine that allows to create (and destroy) sprites, backgrounds and even raster effects on a GBA with a single line of code: https://github.com/GValiente/butano

AMA: Ahoy! I'm the dev behind Tremblay Island, a new homebrew release for the Gameboy Advance. I've done just about everything for the project, so I (hope) I'm prepped to answer just about any GBA homebrew question you might have. Feel free to ask me anything! Thank you!
The language I use is C++ thanks to the Butano library. However, many other devs have used languages like C, ARM assembly, or even Rust or Lisp.
- I want to make a 3d gba game using a gba game engine called butano. Does anyone know of tutorials or examples on how to do this?

Varooom 3D
The full source code and the creative commons assets of this game will be included with Butano.

Writing a game for the gba
Quick search found this, https://github.com/GValiente/butano , perhaps it could be of use to learn or use :)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing agb and butano you can also consider the following projects:
gbsenpai - GB Studio Extended Nominal Player Adaptation/Interface
gba-modern - An attempt to create a Game Boy Advance game using Modern C++
