Chinese Touch is a language learning tool for Nintendo DS. It doesn’t try to provide a complete course for a specific level of language skill, but is meant more as a generic tool to make your own learning docs easily portable and more accessible. You can use any UTF8-encoded text files and word lists. To get you started the download already includes a beginners guide to Chinese (Mandarin) from wikibooks.org

Flock is a casual two dimensional game, with a top down perspective, using collision detection, sprite rotation; multiple backgrounds coded entirely using C, using the DS homebrew libraries of PA_lib & ndslib.
The players use the stylus to direct birds to player’s goal, a red star. The stylus can be used to place four arrows, which redirect the birds. A.I. opponents also use arrows to redirect birds to their star. It’s a quick game with a only three rounds, per game, running at a hectic pace. The puzzle mode gives the player a set of arrows with the objective of directing all the birds and avoiding all the hazards.

In this game, flies will happily fladder around behind your touch screen, and you must get rid of them!
How? Splat them with your stylus, of course!
But beware: Each time you tap on the Touch Screen, you will damage it! How many flies can you swat before you need to send your DS to the Nintendo Product Reparation Service?
Changes:
– Even more file shrinking
– All MP3s now have a 64 kbps bitrate, which is recommended
– Changed title graphic, DS on top screen didn’t look too well.
– Edited font graphics
– A couple of challenge bug fixes
– A window will now pop up if you have completed a challenge (like in Brawl ^^)
– Changed some sound effects
