Wee Basic is a BASIC interpreter for the NDS got an update after more than half a year – programming and debugging are performed directly on the DS.

Wee Basic now allows the use of sprites and backgrounds so you can try your hand with real Nintendo DS games using simple BASIC.

Deflektor is a remake of Deflektor, an old Amiga puzzle game.

The aim is to rotate the mirrors to reflect the laser beam from the source to blow up all the triggers and then enter the target. Rotate the mirrors by tapping on them and then dragging to align the mirror at a particular angle. You start with an amount of energy which is constantly declining (the green bar). Directing the beam into a spike or reflecting the beam back to the source will cause it to overload (represented by the red bar). If the source is overloaded too much or if you run out of energy, you lose a life. There are also rotating blocks which only allow the beam to pass at a certain angle (), teleports which work in pairs, and blocks which randomize the beam direction. In addition, in some levels there are gremlins which roam about the board and mess with your stuff. You can get rid of them by tapping on them repeatedly.

Solfege is a music education software by GueX.

After several weeks of work to learn to program with the PA lib, I finally managed to finish my game to learn music theory (history of working power anytime).

Pete Lockwood released a poker game for Nintendo DS.

Quote:

Tired of the horrendous poker games available for the DS (all flashy graphics and lousy functionality) I decided to write my own.

The whole driver behind wanting to play on the DS was to be able to play poker at lunchtime in an office environment, where cards and chips might be frowned upon 😀

The game currently supports No-Limit Texas Hold-Em for up to 6 players in wireless multiplayer mode or a 6 player Hold-Em or Omaha Hi ‘standalone’ mode where you play all 6 hands (good for debugging and kinda interesting as a simulator).

GEMISIS updated his “Super Smash Bros” clone.

Release notes:

Ok, so i finally got around to starting up SSBDS again, and have decided to release this demo to help me find glitches with CHARACTERS ONLY. I am taking this step by step this time, and the first thing on my list is to get all the character animations in. I did add in multiple levels, but they all have some glitches. I recommend just booting the game, then pressing A for the first level, and staying on the top platform to test out the characters animations. I would like for any glitches with the animation part only to be reported here. There will definitely be collision problems, but i will fix those later. More info in the readme along with credits, all of which is included, and please read it.

In Knytt Stories, each level is its own little adventure. Knytt Stories is a 2D platform game.

Release notes:

After one year in the making, I’m proud to present the first public (alpha) version of:

Knytt Stories DS! (A port of the game Knytt Stories by Nicklas ‘Nifflas’ Nygren)

…which I have been programming using PAlib and a bit of libnds magic :-).
In the future, it will be open source, but now the code is a bit of a mess, and I’ll make it public once I reach the beta status.

“Official” (Copypasted) announcement follows -:)

Knytt Stories DS – Alpha Version Release 1

Available at: http://www.rrc2soft.com/nds_dsknytt.html

Knytt Stories is a freeware platform game made by Nicklas ‘Nifflas’ Nygren (http://nifflas.ni2.se/). The game includes several short levels (‘stories’), and there are many new stories created by the community that anyone can play.
As a tribute to this great game, we started to develop a (free) DS version of it one year ago – Knytt Stories DS.

…And finally, after one year on the making, the first public version that can be tested on real DSs is available.
Note that this is an alpha version. Most stories will not have all the elements needed by the gameplay (critters, scenarios,…), and other stories will be completely unplayable.
