robamacaf released a wip version of his game “KhetDS – The Strategic Laser Game” for Nintendo DS.
Release notes:
I worked on this for the last two days and have it at least in a playable fashion. If you don’t know what Khet is, here is a description.
It’s the game that combines lasers with classic strategy. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian-themed pieces having two, one or no mirrored surfaces. All four types of pieces (pharaoh, obelisk, pyramid and djed column) can either move one square forward, back, left, right, or diagonal, or can stay in the same square and rotate by a quarter twist. Each turn ends by firing one of the lasers built into the board. The laser beam bounces from mirror to mirror; if the beam strikes a non-mirrored surface on any piece, it is immediately removed from play. The ultimate goal is to illuminate your opponent’s pharaoh, while shielding yours from harm!
This game is being released to get feedback, etc. I will be updating it with more features. As of now, it is only 2 player on the same DS. I hope to add Wifi and computer AI soon. I am also looking at redoing the graphics, possibly 3D.

Quirky, famous for various Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS homebrews, wrote a pretty hughe and interesting article about using Assembler with NDS homebrews.
Maybe the one or other can be assimilated by Quirkys idea, so head over and read 🙂

DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, …
Changes:
The long awaited bookmarks in an early version. They can be added and loaded, but not edited in DSwiki itself. But the bookmarks will be saved in a plain text file, so edit it as you like! (a must-have, but nonetheless, suggested by Sphere)
I got rid of most remaining ASCII-text-output and replaced it by a better looking dialog interface.
The display can be inverted (suggested by Sphere). Activate the option menu with “Start” or the left icon. The search looks ugly then, but that doesn’t affect usability.
The search can be reached with an icon in the main window
