v0.1.0

Overview

At this point fpt has reached the initial goal of playing Tetris. Tetris is one of the simplest ROMs available for the original GameBoy. Accordingly, fpt features which enabled playing the game were prioritized:

• Most LR35902 instructions have been implemented.
• The PPU has basic support for tiles and objects.
• Support for the gameboy buttons was added.
• A builtin debugger for the emulator is provided.
• A GUI using egui can be used to play and debug the game - https://github.com/pineman/fpt/tree/main/fpt-egui.
• The current timer is a randomly generated number.
