DSwiki v0.1 (Beta 1) (NDS Application)

DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, …

Changes:

I have released version 0.1beta1, a very important milestone. In previous versions, the data from the english edition could not be read over 2GB, resulting in a lot of blank pages (why has no one told me)

Version 0.1beta1 is supporting multiple wikis with different names, a prompt will show up at startup where the user can select one. For example, copy the files
dewiki-20080712.*
dewikiquote-20080613.*
enwiki-20080724.*
all into the root of your storage device (if it is big enough).

As usual, have fun and please report any issues here, or in my googlecode account.

JNKPlat DS 08 Level Editor Edition (NDS Game)

Jayenkai did a small update on his puzzle platform game JNKPlat. This is not a new version, just a “Level Building Edition”. So, if you want to make levels you can contact Jayenkai via mail (Jayenkai@Gmail.com) or visit the thread on gbadev.org via the link below for his full announcement.

Release notes:

OK folks, here’s a level editor edition! Or, rather.. Here’s a version I’ve been building up, but haven’t yet built any more levels for, yet!

So, make levels, submit them, and just like nyarla (“Magnetic Robot Shavings”) you can have a batch of levels right there in the compiled edition of the game! You’ve got 1 week to do it. I’ll release the next proper edition next week.

Everyone who plays should really at least bother to upload a single level for the Random submitted Levels pack. By Monday! So I can bundle everything, and release it..

Folk who don’t submit levels will make me a very sad panda.
