GbaEngine is a game engine used by Ubisoft for various games on the Game Boy Advance.
History
The engine was originally developed by Ubisoft Milan for Rainbow Six - Rogue Spear on the Game Boy Advance. The engine was based on their engine for the Game Boy Color, with several of the tools from it initially being reused before new ones were developed.[1][2][3] The engine ended up mainly being used by Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Shanghai, with each of the different studios making various changes to it. This has caused there to be three separate branches of the engine which got updated separately from each other.
Additionally, the engine was ported to the Nokia N-Gage and DigiBlast. An updated version of the engine was later used in some games on the Nintendo DS.
Structure
The engine is split into several parts, containing different code libraries and tools. GbaCommon contained the base SDK for developing a game on the system. GbaSimilar contained reusable components for features such as sprite animations, tile maps and 2D platforming scenes. GbaSpecific was used for the game itself.
