I have ported som text adventure interpeters and am trying to find someone interested in giving some feedback (People playing Interactive Fiction AND into NDS homebrew are not the largest group of people in the world :)

The text-input system may be interesting for others too - its all part of my "libpogo" library which I have cleaned up a lot lately and will probably release soon.

It looks very nice :)
I've been playing with Frotz on DSLinux, but with the nice visual design and the writing recognition you have here creates a pretty nice setup that really makes it worthwhile.

Yay, I can use my save files from DSL!
Okay, I like what I'm seeing :)
The gesture recognition is really nicely done. I'm only having one problem with it at the moment:
The directions seem really hard to draw, and so far I've only achieved writing a single direction (East) once. Could it be made a bit less sensitive for those ones?

what gesture recognition are you using sasq? Or something you've written from scratch?

Wow! I was actually starting to wonder if we'd get a frotz port. HHGTTH seems to work beautifully.
Keyboard gives some incorrect keypresses sometimes, but I can't tell if that is human error or not yet (have not played enough) due to the "a line" not being aligned to the "q" and "z lines" on the keyboard (the missing caps-lock key makes the "a line" shift a bit to the left).
The writing recognition is a great feature... it appears very similar to the "inside of your hand" handheld device... which is at least familiar to me.
Is it possible to display that useful .png recognition image on the top screen rather than the keyboard when you change to recognition mode?
Saving works too (I have only tried root as suggested).
Telephasic
EDIT:
Also, it appears from your .mov and my experiments that tab/autocomplete is a stroke from bottom-left to top-right, but you have drawn it in the png as bottom-right to top-left.

Of course, this was the intention all along, I just didn't get around to it in the first version.

its a modified version of "libstroke" which is very simplistic - I was looking for something better but others (like merlin) didnt allow for easy definition of gestures.

The directions are normally very easy to draw - did you get that you need to draw back and forth, a double right-left line for east, up-down for north etc?
I usually include a TODO but forgot this time aorund;
Fix loading/saving for all interpreters.
Switch between Keyboard, HELP (strokes.png) and Graphics (Magnetic Scrolls) on top-screen when text is at bottom.
Improve gesture recognition.
Scratchpad-mode - bottom screen turns into a scrollable bitmap where you can draw a map and make notes.

I'm not sure what Errabes is doing as of late, he might have even left the scene for the time being.
I really hope he comes back around though to release a polished, final version.
What he did release works good enough for now, so he's still my personal hero. :o)
