Woopsi is a Nintendo DS GUI library for rapidly creating user interfaces for homebrew software. Modelled after the AmigaOS windowing system.

Release notes:

Version 0.35 is now out. Changes are listed below. The most significant changes this time around include the addition of a keyboard gadget for text input, cursor support in the TextBox gadget and re-written VBL integration to use a much simpler timer gadget for VBL-based code.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the keyboard. It has shift, caps lock and control modifier keys, and the full 7-bit ASCII set of symbols (ie. a fairly standard American keyboard layout).

There are two new example projects. One illustrates how to use the new timer, whilst the other shows how to use the keyboard.

– Fixes:
– Renamed “Textbox” to “TextBox”.
– Corrected case of “PackedFontBase.h” include in “packedfontbase.cpp” (thanks Gattman, bug 2101099).
– Removed offcolour pixels from around @ symbol in sysfont bitmap.
– Moved @ symbol in tinyfont.bmp to correct ASCII location.
– SkinnedWindows move to front when clicked.
– Renamed TextBox::TextPositionXXX to TextAlignmentXXX, along with all related functions and similar in MultiLineTextBox and ScrollingTextBox.
– TextBox::addText() was allocating one byte too many when concatenating strings.
– Renamed addText() to appendText() in TextBox, MultiLineTextBox and ScrollingTextBox classes.
– Text::wrap() correctly wraps text rows with no break points.
– Fixed const-correctness of some Font (and subclass) methods.

– New Features:
– Button has different appearance when disabled.
– CheckBox has different appearance when disabled.
– ContextMenuItem has different appearance when disabled.
– CycleButton has different appearance when disabled.

– Removed EVENT_VBL event.
– Removed Gadget::vbl().
– AnimButton automatically animates as it has as built-in timer gadget.
– Added missing glyphs to tinyfont.bmp.

An application for musicians by Gaz.

Release notes:

Jazzier Suite, is a new project I am working on for the Nintendo DS. The program will aid musicians in improving their ability to recognise pitch, read music and to stabilise timing, as not to speed up or slow down whilst playing songs. There will also be a number of tools implemented to help aid in composition and performance. Some of these have already been implemented in the first release, such as, the delay calculator and tap tempo features on the metronome.

Here is a new release of AFKIM (Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger), the instant messaging application for PSP written by Danzel and improved by ZX-81.

Release notes:

Here is a new release of AFKIM (Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger), the instant messaging application for PSP written by Danzel !

The server im.bitlbee.org is down and it doesn’t appear even in DNS. Unfortunately it is the default Bitlbee server used by afkim and there is no way to create a new account using afkim in any other Bitlbee server.
(You have to do it by yourself using any IRC client).

In this new version of afkim you can specify in afkim.cfg file the public Bitlbee server / port you want to connect to. The afkim.cfg file try now to connect you to im.codemonkey.be when using a new account (you have to rename or remove the bitlbee.cfg file first).

Special thanks to BLacKyyy* for his feedback on im.bitlbee.org server issue.

kevcal released his shooter game Abduction.

Release notes:

Well I started this well over a year ago and had 6 months off due to work commitments.. (still ongoing).
Thought I’d never release it, but here it is – hopefully it’s enjoyable for a quick blast (20 Levels).

I’ve taken Eugene Jarvis’s arcade games as inspiration, so expect some very frenetic blasting in later levels.

I’m sure improvements can be made – I have ideas to take the project further but they’ll have to wait for another time.
