gbdk-n VS GameBoyPngConverter

To fix this, some very recent communities are working on updated versions of the library without these issues: GBDK-N and GBDK 2020. I've personally moved on to the latter, but any tutorials for the original GBDK are still valid, such as the rudimentary ones on the GBDK wiki, or most notably Gaming Monsters' Youtube chanel (which sadly didn't exist when I got into GB development lol).

I've been using GBDK, I highly recommend it if you're a little familiar with code. GBDK does have some issues, as it is an old library, and can cause memory leaks even with some otherwise-normal code. I would highly suggest using GBDK-N or GBDK 2020 instead, which are both very recent updates to the library that attempt to fix its issues.

I actually convert my pixel art into tiles and map data, write down some code (using GBDK) to display that data, and convert that code into a gb rom. The first step can be automatised with gingemonster's GameBoy Png converter, so long as you keep in mind some of the GB's limitations (such as 256 tiles in the VRAM, depsite the 360 tiles to diaplay on screen)

For this challenge, I've also been using gingemonster's GameboyPngConverter to help with the tile generation. (Before that, I'd go through the usual GBTD and GBMB tools, which are ok for regular level building, but aren't thought out for pixel art pieces like this)
