Game Boy D&D Character Sheet

Create your D&D 5e character sheet on your Game Boy!

This tool was originally submitted for GB Compo '21, but I've made a few updates since.

How to use

Use UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to navigate the menus and press A to make a selection.

Hold SELECT and press B to enter edit mode - the cursor will change to show what mode you are currently in. While in edit mode and next to an editable field, hold A and press LEFT or RIGHT to change the value (or just press A when setting skill/saving throw proficiencies).

Press START to access the menu. This is where you can save your sheet and view the instructions.

*Note: the sword and shield button currently doesn't do anything!

This tool is no longer being developed, but some things I'd like to add if I pick it up again are:

• Class, race and background selection
• Name entry
• Character portraits
• Inspiration indicator
• Status effect indicator
• XP tracker
• Simple inventory system
• Ambient/battle music selection, sound effects (and a mute option)
