Maxwell Goodman made a little WIP of Halo 2D DS. It just loads the first map and you can walk around, there’s no AI yet so there are no enemies, or weapons.

Ant512 has updated his “Window System” Woopsi.

As well as a few minor changes, I’ve now implemented the optimised drawing routine. Only the visible regions of each gadget are now drawn, which means (amongst other things) that the Pong demo is now correctly depth sorted.

DSOrganize is meant as a homebrew organizer application for the Nintendo DS that should have come built in in the first place. It is by no means comparible to a full-fledged organizer such as a palm, and it is not planned to become an operating system, video player, or anything similar.

Changes:

Fixes a few annoying bugs and adds in wifi strength.

ArchonDS – A remake of the original game from 1983 (Atari ST) with new graphics. It is a strategy & action game, the battle light vs. dark!

Changes:

Version 0.3 has a little bug in the ending conditions. When you kill five particular units the game is already over. I have fixed the bug in version 0.31 and added the missing deathsprites for the golem, the sorceres and the troll.

Changes:

This version 2.6 has been released to fix a security hole while submitting online scores. I would like to thank rummik for having helped me to fix it. The ‘undo’ bug in Inertia has been fixed too: the feature has been removed!!!

NeXFerret has released “Another World of Sand clone”…

It’s nowhere near finished… but at a pretty good state. It runs at 56-60FPS solidly, no matter what you plonk onscreen. At the moment, everything acts like sand of different densities. Have a go, and provide some feedback, please!

This is a very early demo of a windowing system. The aim of the project is to create a simple windowing system that other programmers can use for their applications, which should decrease the tedious amount of GUI code that people have to write.

Changes:

– Fixed width/height inaccuracies (I wasn’t quite converting from (x1,y1) (x2,y2) to (x,y) (width,height) properly)
– Tidied up border drawing again (related to the width/height thing)
– Added intelligent gadget erasing
– Screen/window borders are now gadgets (so they automatically get redrawn as necessary when they become visible)
– Almost all gadgets now have a draw function that clips to a supplied rectangle’s dimensions
– Swapped the dull black rectangle in the SuperBitmap demo for a picture of many Marios (shows off the concept a bit better)
– The Pong demo now uses the SuperBitmap class as its canvas
