Animanatee is another little drawing application for NDS.

The controls are explained in the program, but here are the basic features:
– 2 layers (“BG” and “frame”). BG gets copied over when you create a new frame, so you can have a persistent background, or modify it as you go.
– 60 color palette, which can all be modified.
– Up to 10000 frames, or until memory runs out.
– Undo/redo. Up to 32 levels, or until it fills its 128KB buffer.
– Onion skinning (sort of, only shows one previous frame).

At the moment it does not do much… Simply draw your Kanji on the bottom left draw area. Then click appropriate Kanji that appeared on one of the buttons on the right (if it was properly recognized of course). This will display its readings, meanings and additional info. Press L to clear the Kanji Draw area.

beatwho has released the source-code of his turn based strategy game Warlords DS.

Release notes:

9/10/2007 – The source code is now available in the downloads section. I basically went through cleaning up classes that werent needed and joined classes together. There were a few issues with the compiler when i did this so the FSM stuff looks kinda dodgy. The grunt of the work is in the gamevar class, in the Update() function. Any questions about the code can be sent to the email address at the bottom of the page.

The game source code itself is free for anybody to use as long as you dont pass off the work as your own (you dont even have to mention me!), the art, of course, including the art source files remain the property of Lobo and you will need specific permission from him to use.

If you are feeling generous and want to incorporate any changes you make into my codebase then please email the source files and Ill see what I can do about merging it into the current codebase. If this happens enough Ill set up an svn server or something to use.
