Android Midi Pad is a midi touch pad for Android devices.

This project uses the touch capabilities of android enabled devices to send midi messages as would do a hardware controller in music production systems.

A connection is made to a computer via bluetooth, and a server build using python on it is paired to the device and receives messages from it. Those messages are then sent to a virtual midi bridge.

Changes:

* Multiple controllers on the same screen: faders, buttons, pads
* Custom interface designer
* Automatically switch on bluetooth if not enabled on devices
* New messages to better inform the user

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.

Duck Attack’s premise is simple: Collect radioactive duck eggs for points while avoiding giant, mutant and fire-breathing ducks.

Changes:

v0.09 is attached – the major change to this version is a new “Continue” feature. If you reach level 6 or higher before running out of lives, you can continue the next game at the same level (with score reset to zero) by pressing the fire button before the timer runs out.

atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known russian block game. The game was previously known as “Tetris”.

Release notes:

I’ve tried to add music. You can switch it on and off with the left difficulty switch. There is a little problem, though. When a block hits bottom, the note changes from what it’s supposed to be to a random note. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
