Element DS is inspired by the Flash game called “COLLISO DS” created by kurohako. The DS version has been redesigned and made from scratch and features about 160 levels. The objective in game is to remove all the blocks by dragging them toward the blocks of the equal symbol/color. Two blocks of different color will reverse/swap their colors once they collide. The Blocks won’t stop until they either hit another block or the walls, meaning that they travel either horizontally or vertically unless they meet the obstacle in their path.

Changes:

– Fixed level 79. (thank you The_Pimousse a)
– Case Ghost during playback, press the A button or touching the screen with the stylus. (Idea of The_Pimousse)
– The bug relentlessly when the stylus on a tab after selecting a block. (thank you The_Pimousse a)

DS Brut is an open source hardware prototyping platform for the Nintendo DS, aimed at enthusiasts, artists and game developers alike. We manufactured Slot-1 cartridges that allow you to control a basic UART, up to six GPIO lines, up to three ports for PWM, up to two ADCs, and I2C bus – all from within your own DS homebrew application.

The cartridge features one Atmega168 microcontroller which – like the Arduino – can be very easily programmed via the TX/RX pins. By default, the microcontroller runs a programm (source code available) tailored for use with a LGPL-licensed library for devkitPro, that makes it possible to access the microcontroller’s peripherals from within your DS code. The library transparently handles all communication with the cartridge over SPI bus, which makes it extremely easy to use for developers. As its API closely resembles those of Arduino (analogRead(), digitalRead()), you can start prototyping right away if you have some experience on that platform!
