CellWriterDS v1.0 (NDS misc)

CellWriterDS is an handwriting recognition library. It is a Nintendo DS porting of Cell Writer, an open source application written by Michael Levin.

The main feature of the library is that it can be trained to recognize every kind of symbol. Training is performed writing new symbol samples directly with the pen. With the standard library are provided samples for numbers, letters and some symbols.

The character writing must be done in a configurable but well defined display area, the cell area.

The integration of the library in any application is very simple: the initialization is performed using the cdwsInit function; the recognition phase starts using the cwdsBeginRecognizeMode function (that allows the definition of the cell area) and continue notifying to the library, using the cwdsNotifyPenDownEvent, cwdsNotifyPenMoveEvent, cwdsNotifyPenUpEvent functions the pen operations within the cell (is the calling program that draw on the display). The recognition phase ends calling the cwdsEndRecognizeMode function, that returns the recognized symbol. It’s all!

The cwds.h header file contains the complete list of available functions.

With the library a demo program is provided, it allows the test of all functions exposed by the library. When the program works in writing mode (default) it is possible to try the recognition functions, enabling or disabling the available symbols; for each character the corrisponding sample and the recognition statistics are displayed. When the program works in training mode it is possible to select a symbol, see the samples defined for it and define new ones.

StringTunerDS v1.0 (NDS Application)

StringTunerDS is a Nintendo DS homebrew useful to tune guitars and other musical instruments. It can detect a sound’s pitch and display the corresponding tone and octave. It can work in autodetect mode or it’s possible to select a target frequency. When StringTunerDS works in autodetect mode it displays the detected pitch. The target frequency can be setted selecting the target tone and octave or choosing the instruments (guitar or bass), the tuning mode and the string to tune. The base frequency for A can be setted between 435 and 445 Hz (440 Hz at default) and is possible to generate the target sound (this function is not enabled in autodetect mode).

graphDS v0.9 (NDS Application)

graphDS is a program for the Nintendo DS that can evaluate mathematical expressions and graph Cartesian, parametric, and polar equations.

Release notes:

Here’s the latest version of graphDS. In this version, I added nesting for catalog functions, added tracing for inverse functions, added a vector data type, and added some catalog functions for working with vectors, like dot product and cross product. If you’ve never used graphDS before, it also features expression evaluation, a simple CAS, built-in catalog functions, and six graphing modes.

Please note that this will probably be the last version before the “final” version, 1.0. This means that I NEED YOUR HELP. Please report any bugs (I already know of several) and tell me what features you would like to see implemented or how I can improve graphDS. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to include all your suggestions, but it would certainly help both you and me if I could get some feedback.

As always, I greatly appreciate your donations. Your donations will keep me from having to obtain a job while I am getting through college, which means more homebrew for you.
