Libellen is a sprite handling library for the Nintendo DS, based on libNDS. The library is released under the terms of the WTFPL.

Full release notes:

Since I’m not going to do any further development on this (for various reasons), I have decided to release libellen – a sprite handling library for the Nintendo DS, based on libnds.

The library is released under the terms of the WTFPL.

The source and “example” are super documented, and evena Doxyfile is attached if you want to create documentations.
The library was tested and compiled using devkitARM r21 with god-knows-what libnds version. If you find incompatibilities, I’ll be happy if YOU would fix them.

Have fun and happy coding!

For those who are intrigued by the name – lib-ell-en (L – N, my name’s initials) could also be read as libellen – dutch for “Dragonfly” which is what the logo is based on. For those who wonder, the logo is also released under the terms of the WTFPL.

Some history:
libellen was first made as the low-level library for ToD2, but was quickly got good enough to be expended. My second goal was also to get people to stop using PAlib, an old, slow and deprecated library which people insisted on using. The library was not complete, but the sprite handling was. after more then 6 months of inactivity, I have decided to release the library to just handle sprites.

Release notes from qw3rky:

Recently, I went out to Cleveland, Ohio for an internship. The most convenient way to get to work was to take the rapid train into downtown. Being a white kid from the suburbs, I wasn’t all that familiar with public transportation, but I resolved to make use of it the best I could. To help myself learn the routes and timings of the trains and buses, I made a little map for my DS which I could consult whenever I was feeling lost.

I cleaned up the code, ported the graphics functionality to use the cool new uLib library from Brunni, and I’m releasing it here. You can scroll around a map of the Cleveland RTA, and then you can click on train stops to see when the next few trains are coming.

I realize the utility of this is limited to the few people who live in the Upper Midwestern United States, but it was a helpful little app for me, and maybe someone else will find it useful too.

Controls:
* d-pad scrolls map
* stylus clicks on train stops and shows schedule, press any button to return to map view
