Quipeace has updated his “handwriting” calculator for Nintendo DS. Other than other calculators you write the mats onto the screen. The calculators recognizes * : + and -.

Quote:

Another minor update:

Parenthesis are now supported 2*(4-2) = 4).
NOTE: “1” has to be written like you see it on your screen right now, a simple down-going line will result in a left parenthesis. You will be able to change this in the next release.

Valid input now turns green, and invalid backspaces will no longer erase pixels other than the black line itself.

Hey all 🙂 , time to release V0.2,

Not much has changed, I’m still trying to think of a good and nice looking options menu so that will come later. I have the code ready though, so it won’t take much longer.

You can now draw an diagonal (bottom left to upper right) line trough the last input to erase, so you can easily correct your mistakes. Invalid backspaces will be erased so they won’t clog up your screen.

The next release will hopefully include the options menu, with customizable handwriting shapes, a toggle between graffiti and two different pad input methods.

Inspired by the handwriting calculator from nokia labs, I started working on this, never knowing that it would turn out much and much harder than I first expected.

Features:
Basic math operations: (+, -, *, /, ^)
Multi-digit support.
Handwriting recognition (now using graffiti).

DS OOP Layer (DSOL for short) is a object orientated programming library for the Nintendo DS. It is written in c++ and is build directly onto libNDS. It’s main objective is to let people easily program for the DS in an object orientated way while still allowing people to take more controll if they need it. It also focuses on creating good and clean code and using good programming habits.

The library is fairly new, and therefore is still missing alot of stuff.
