Dicewars DS is a multiplayer version of a popular Flash based strategy game Dicewars for Nintendo DS handheld console. Your task is to conquer the whole game field by rolling dice. Each turn you may attack any opponent’s territory from one of your adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one die on it. When attacking, If you roll more than the defender, you win.
At the end of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice, which are placed randomly on your territory.
Author notes:
I’m currently preparing the version 0.4.0, trying to make sure all the known bugs are fixed for it. Expected release date approximately one week ahead.
24/09/07 update – I’m currently mostly waiting. For updated sound effects, new website layout, getting the server application debugged thoroughly. Meanwhile, I’ve been playing around with ad-hoc networks and trying to get two DS’s to communicate with each other without internet / wireless access point. Hopefully in the future Dicewars DS can be also played locally with 2-8 DS’s.

Here comes a “Cooking Timer” coded by Infantile Paralysiser.
Woopsi is a “Window System” for NDS.
Release notes:
I gave in to temptation and re-implemented all of the 8-bit Woopsi functions in 16-bit. Most of the complexities have vanished, and the SuperBitmap now scrolls properly. Any speed loss incurred by doubling the amount of data flying around isn’t noticeable, but I get a slew of benefits including:
* Tidier, simpler code
* No need for palette management – I wasn’t really looking forward to having to write 8-bit palette remapping routines in order to load bitmap data into windows on the screen
* SuperBitmap works properly
I rewrote the 8-bit code that’s been giving me so much trouble in no time at all. The only problem I came across was some weird behaviour from the DMA_Copy() routine, but I soon figured out that it was the bracket problem again. Still not fixed, then…
I’ve broken the naming convention for this release – it’s called “Woopsi 16” as I duplicated the original project for the 16-bit upgrade rather than change the code, just in case I change my mind. If anyone has any good arguments against using 16-bit mode, I’d love to hear them.
