Python 2.5 for Dingux!

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python aims to combine “remarkable power with very clear syntax”, and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.

Release notes:

* size is now only 30mb 🙂
* dynamically linked
* add to local/sbin/main the library searchpath: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

BassAceGold was working on a homebrew Nintendo DS Zelda game named “The Legend of Zelda: The Shards of Light”. He will not continue this project and released it now in an unfinished state.

I will not be continuing this project as explained in my previous post so here is The Legend of Zelda: The Shards of Light. Only one boss is partially coded, the graphics are incomplete and inconsistent, the music is unfinished, there are missing sounds, and plenty of bugs with debug menus and buttons intact. So really you can’t complete the game. You can walk around and explore levels and collect most of the items but that is about it. Just a really big demo.

To run, make sure you have a nitroFS compatible flash card card. The save file will be created on the root of your card.

I will not be working on this game anymore so please do not email me about bugs. The source code will also not be released as currently it is in no shape to be released as it spans a few years of me learning coding techniques etc.
