Blargh Text Editor is a text editor to be used with a Nintendo DS.

Limitations:

* its only a demo, you won’t be able to save/load the typed text (although I will use this program to make an actual text editor)
* the vertical scrolling of text still has bugs: it will not work properly with word-wrapped lines & the last line of text gets duplicated when you scroll down (other than that, its working fine)
* the text cursor doesn’t blink yet
* the upper screen is currently used for debug. in the future, that area will be used as non-monospaced text display too
* cut, copy, paste of text not yet implemented
* no unicode support yet
* the other buttons in the gui do not do anything yet; they are conceptual
* no word-wrap yet

You are the Bitsweeper, explosives hunter extraordinaire. Your mission, although simple, is very dangerous: locate and deactivate all the missing bits on bitfields before they hurt anyone else.

Changes:

Built on r23 of devkitARM.
Added DLDI support. This means the best scores table will now be recorded upon finishing a level!
Also, if no media card is present, an existing slot-2 card can be used to save best scores. (This was present in release 1, but, because of a hideous bug in the code, it didn’t work as expected.)
Improvements on random cell generation. This means boards are now truly random, giving it a little more variety on play.
Many, many bugs fixed! As of this release, there are no known bugs in the game.
Slight visual improvements. If you’ve seen the first release, they will be immediately apparent.
