3. History
----------
- 1997-07-03: Carsten Sørensen (a.k.a. SurfSmurf) writes ASMotor as a
general-purpose assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32.
- 1996-10-01: Carsten Sørensen (a.k.a. SurfSmurf) releases
`xAsm <http://otakunozoku.com/RGBDSdocs/asm.htm>`__,
`xLink <http://otakunozoku.com/RGBDSdocs/link.htm>`__, and
`RGBFix <http://otakunozoku.com/RGBDSdocs/fix.htm>`__,
a Game Boy SM83 (GBZ80) assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32.
- 1999-08-01: Justin Lloyd (a.k.a. Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to read and
produce GBZ80 assembly/machine code, and releases this version as RGBDS.
- 1997-07-03: Sørensen releases `ASMotor <http://otakunozoku.com/RGBDSdocs/geninfo.htm>`__,
packaging the three programs together and moving towards making them a
general-purpose target-independent system.
- 1999-08-01: Justin Lloyd (a.k.a. Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to re-focus
on SM83 assembly/machine code, and releases this version as
`RGBDS <http://otakunozoku.com/rednex-gameboy-development-system/>`__.
- 2009-06-11: Vegard Nossum adapts the code to be more UNIX-like and releases
this version as rgbds-linux on `GitHub <https://github.com/vegard/rgbds-linux>`__.
this version as `rgbds-linux <https://github.com/vegard/rgbds-linux>`__.
- 2010-01-12: Anthony J. Bentley forks that repository. The fork becomes the reference
implementation of RGBDS.
- 2010-01-12: Anthony J. Bentley `forks <https://github.com/bentley>`__ Nossum's
repository. The fork becomes the reference implementation of RGBDS.
- 2017-02-23: Bentley's repository is moved to a neutral name, Rednex.
- 2015-01-18: stag019 begins implementing `rgbgfx <https://github.com/stag019/rgbgfx>`__,
