Stravingo has updated his weather information tool for NDS.
Changes:
– Addition of Central Europe, Eastern Europe and North Africa countries.
– More than 3300 cities in the included database (and always more than 40000 cities available by code).
– More cities displayed on the world map.
– Faster world map display, now at 60 FPS.
– And last but not least, faster download time of weather information: a cache is now used on a server, with a duration of one hour. So, the download time of weather data for all the cities is now of 1 minute if the data are not cached, else it’s only about 2 seconds!

AcChen is a simple to learn ‘find the matching tile’ game. It is more Arcade-Style than MahJongg. It contains a lot of different levels. Each level takes only a couple of minutes to finish.
Find two items with identical symbols. The tiles will disappear when you can ‘connect’ them with a line, which has two or less right angles in it. Green ways will work ( 2 corners ), red won’t ( 3 corners ). Advance to the next level when the board is cleared.

* New user-interface by Ernst (madwurmz.com)
* Full opacity brush option
* Border around canvas to allow more panning
