Gungnir learned how to use the PAlib library with the Nintendo DS and presents us his output after three days of coding.

It’s a clone of Breakout / Arkanoid featuring 40 levels. As you can guess three days are not enough to write a proper game, so it does not feature highscore, pause mode or save game – also the ball lacks proper angle behavior.

Hillbilly is working on an application similar to DragonMinded’s DSorganize.

Head over to Hillbilly’s webpage for more information.

This is an unofficial build of the Win2DS client and server, both the client and server have been updated.

This Tetris game by Mia might freak out some of you out there. It’s using a realistic physics engine to drop the tiles, which makes you drive nuts after a while.

This is a high recommended download. – Tetris the different way!

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause Books.app or other UI Text View/Web View based apps problems. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.

Changes:

* Adds support for CHM, ZIP and RAR files. These files will be expanded into cache directories so you can navigate into them and open the files they contain. Cache directories can also be deleted.
* Improved formatting for eReader, Mobipocket, RTF, Palm Doc, Plucker, HTML, FB2, PDB, PRC, and Text files.
* Adds an option to automatically delete cache directories when you leave them*
* Adds an option for “File Scrolling”: Swipe left<->right to go to the next or previous file in the directory.
* Better file management including improved file ordering and updating after a delete
* Added an indicator to differentiate between opened and unopened files
* Split up the settings page into sub-pages
* New search options
* Minor bug fixes

Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.
