    How to play
    1. On Windows 10 or later, install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and work in its terminal, as on Linux.
    2. On Linux, install make, gcc and git; on macOS, install Homebrew.
    3. Install rgbds 1.0.4, the assembler, as its INSTALL.md says for your system.
    4. Clone the repository, and run make in it: it builds pokered.gbc and pokeblue.gbc.
