Release notes:

– Fixes:
– ListData::swapItems() no longer raises a data changed event.
– ListData::sort() raises a data changed event.

– ListBox ignores double-clicks that occur across multiple items.
– Removed unused Gadget::_doubleClickTime member.
– ListBox redraws every time data changes.
– Double-click only counted as such if the gadget already has focus (ie. must be the same gadget clicked twice).
– ListBox::draw() calculates top and bottom visible options correctly, and does not overwrite options at the top of the list with those from the
bottom.
– ListBox automatically scrolls when items are removed from the ListData object to ensure it does not display past the end of the canvas.

– New Features:
– Split ListData class into ListData and ListDataItem classes for greater flexibility.

– Altered ListData::quickSort() and added compareTo() method to ListDataItem to allow custom ordering of ListDataItem subclasses.
– ScrollingBase adds support for specifying planes on which scrolling can occur.
– ScrollingPanel implements ScrollingBase’s allow/disallow scroll plane features to prevent scrolling on certain planes.
– ListBox does not allow horizontal scrolling.
– Added windowless example project.
– Added Gadget::isDoubleClick() to check for double-clicks.
– Combined various colour members in Gadget class into GadgetColours struct.
– Merged TextWriter into GraphicsXXX classes and removed original class.
– Added FileListDataItem class to store data for file requester.
– FileRequester uses new compareTo() functionality for substantial speed increase and lower memory usage.
– FileRequester displays “Loading…” message whilst directories are enumerated.
– Split ListDataItem into ListDataItem and ListBoxDataItem classes for greater flexibility.
– Split FileRequester into FileListBox and FileRequester classes for greater flexibility.
– CycleButton uses the ListData class to store its data – options can now be selected, removed, sorted, etc.
– ListBox::getPreferredDimensions() bases width on size of text in options.
– ContextMenu used a ListBox to store/view its data.
– ContextMenu includes getPreferredDimensions() method.
– ContextMenu sends ListDataItem objects with event arguments instead of ContextMenuItem objects.

The world of Ripholes in Rubbish takes place in a sketch book. The player takes the role as a sketched avatar in a magical animated land. Her goal is to find her lost friend, Arky.

Ripholes’ core mechanic is the player’s ability to rip and paste level elements and other game characters. Although the player can move and jump freely, they will not be able to complete all the levels without using their ripping ability.

The game is broken down into different levels, or sketchbooks. These levels are further broken down into pages.

The ripping ability’s first noticeable effect is that it freezes time, allowing the player to rip and paste anywhere within the main screen and within the same page as the avatar. The player has a limit of three ripped objects she can hold in her inventory at any time, and objects can only be pasted once they’ve been ripped into the player’s inventory. Ripping creates a hole that the player can pass through, such as on the page below or a page above if the player is standing underneath it. Ripping in white space will create only a hole, and the blank paper is discarded by the avatar.

Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.

The solution is client-server based, obviously, and requires you to have a server running.

Release notes:

0.3 (major)
* Y button in “cursor”-mode for ALT.
* A button in “cursor”-mode for TAB.
* X and B in “cursor”-mode for scroll.
* Adding left/right shoulder buttons to also mimic mouse clicks.
* Accelerated cursor movements; much like a real touchpad.
* Fixing problems when reconnecting to the server. You are now able to reconnect to the server without having to restart the server!
* Implementing a battery-saver feature – when the DS lid is closed.
* Upgraded to dswifi to 0.3.10. The wifi connection is much more stable now.
* Corrected X and Y on keyboard and fixed some of the currently missing keys. I have a problem locating all the keys.
* Added onscreen cursor to the client making it easier to see last cursor position.
* Removed manual input of server IP and port. You now need to put a “rtds_config.txt” in the root of your cartridge with this data.
* Server partially rewritten – fixed problem with reconnect.
* Client GUI features/eyecandy implemented. Also better netcode.
