You must guide the bouncing ball save trough the level, that’s it – if there wouldn’t be obstacles and holes 😉
News
nczempin made a simplistic clock for Poker tournaments. It allows you to set a time per round (in minutes), and when that time has passed, it will emit a noise (shamelessly stolen from wintermute’s libnds sound example). It can also pause/go, and change the current level, reset, and do your washing.
This is a card game where you have to get rid of all your cards before the computer does.

How to play:
Each arrow defines the direction (way) of the pile : an up arrow means you have to put cards with superior value (4 then 5 then 6 …) and a down arrow inferior value (6 then 5 then 4 …)
There are 2 bonuses cards : Joker and Reverse.
The first one can be played on any card but you can only play the same color on it
The second can be played on a card of the same color and reverses the direction of the pile. Then you can only play card of the same color on itConcerning cards number, 0 comes after 12 and 12 comes before 0
In order to play this game, you only need the stylus to drag cards. The menu works the same as the game : drag the card where you want to go.
nczempin started working on converting the original “Football Manager” to the DS. Paul Robson has ported, or reverse-engineered, or remade, the original Football Manager by Kevin Toms.

The current status is:
A pre-alpha version is running. You can see some of the menu screens, and once it comes to match day, you can actually see a match.
It is not really playable (other than advancing from match to match), in fact, I have taken out quite a bit of functionality.
So you should take a look at it only if you are very curious.
I will release the source code as well, of course (it’s GPL), but I haven’t found a permanent home for it yet.
Given that it is likely that I will not keep maintaining this for a long time (it is only a “finger exercise” to get acquainted with DS homebrew), it would be nice if someone would like to take over, provide webspace, etc. Putting it on sourceforge would be a bit of an overkill IMHO.
Here’s the current binary:
