Box2D is a 2D rigid body simulation library for games. Programmer’s can use it in their games to make objects move in believable ways and make the world seem more interactive. From the game’s point of view a physics engine is just a system for procedural animation. Rather than paying (or begging) an animator to move your actors around, you can let Sir Isaac Newton do the directing.

Pstros NDS is a MIDP implementation running on the CLDC java machine compiled for the Nintendo DS. It allows you to run some java programs and games written for the mobile phones on your NDS.
To achieve this goal one needs a java machine for processing the bytecode and a program library that implements the MIDP api. In this case the Sun’s KVM java machine was used (thanks to Torlus and davr for porting it for the NDS and providing the source) and an altered version of the Pstros was used as the MIDP library. Both parts were built into the single binary to simplify the execution of the java code on the NDS.

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.
Release notes from atari2600land:
Got rid of the in-game music. I figured nobody was liking it anyway, and it was taking up variables which I needed. Changed screen #35 and added screen #37. I also changed the way you jump. Now when you let go of the fire button mid-jump, you go back down instead of doing the whole jump.
