Rubiks Cube (24-11-2007) (NDS Game)

Another update to Morgan’s Rubiks Cube game for Nintendo DS. It now adds a “pseudo” 3D cube in the bottom screen.

Release notes:

I’ve created a pseudo-3D cube on the bottom screen. I also fixed a bug in the down and down inverse turning functions. Use the touchscreen icons to turn different sides of the cube, the left and right arrows to rotate the whole cube, and Start to reset the cube. In the final version, I will hopefully have a real 3D cube, as well as more rotation functions and other nice features. I will probably not release another version for download until the final version.

Wee Basic v0.3 (NDS misc)

Wee Basic, is a BASIC variant for the Nintendo DS and has been udpated.

Release notes:

fixed:

– editor: return key swallowing a character
– editor: hopefully fixed remaining save bugs

added/changed:

– basic programs now have access to both DS screens and stylus input
– hide or show keyboard with commands ‘keyhide’ and ‘keyshow’
– you must hide the keyboard before printing to, or using graphics on, the bottom screen
– cls, print, plot and line can now be used on both DS screens. You must specify a screen number. Syntax is now (s= screen number 0 or 1):

print s [at x,y]
plot s x,y,colour
line s x1,y1,x2,y2,colour
cls s

(s = screen number 0 or 1)

– stylus coordinates can be obtained using stx() and sty()

eg, let sx=stx() let sxy=sty()

– check whether bottom screen has been touched with stt()

eg, let touched=stt()
stt() returns 1 for touched and 0 for not touched

– new example showing the above features

iPhysics (iPhone misc)

Release notes:

Looking through the Hackint0sh forums, I found this thread about the game Crayon Physics, and really liked the idea of having something like that in the iPhone… I posted in the Crayon Physics blog requesting to be allowed to port the app to the iPhone, but got no answer so far… So I started hacking something like it, and I’m getting something almost usable by now…
