Hello
I am new at GBA programing, just started 4 days ago. When I use Mode 0 (or 1,2) I can use tile/maps and sprites functionality to display things. Are these the only way to draw on the screen in mode 0,1,2?
Best regards
Bastian

Modes 0, 1, 2 have tiles and sprites. It's possible to trick a tile map into behaving as a bitmap, but that's an advanced topic.

One can also use h-blank tricks to change the color of the backdrop each line. One can get a nice gradient backdrop if they care to do so.

Are you talking about having unique tiles for each map entry or is it really some sort of advanced trick involved?

Yes.

There does exist a map trick that makes pixel addressing of a rot/scale tiled background look a bit like that of mode 4.
