I don't know if this section is appropriate, but I want to introduce my game concept, which I'm going to implement on NDS (as fast as I get one :) )
I want to get your opinion about it, so here it is: http://cb.revo.pl - there is some Windows implementation, that AFAIK works on WINE (with gdiplus.dll).
There are some bugs, but I'm not going to fix them - NDS version will be fully reimplemented, so there is no sense.
I'm curious what do you think about it :>

That's a pretty nice concept :) It looks just like kirby, though...

This is a great game. Not very easy to control with the mouse, but I bet that could be fixed with the DS.
Something else that bugs me is that you need to control where the screen moves. I was thinking there could be a little imagionary box (about half the size of the scren) where the ball can move without forcing the screen to move.
Otherwise, good job, and good luck on the port.

yeah, I thought that method of controlling the ball sounded familiar.....

Kinda really feels like Kirby Canvas Curse, only alot harder to conrol where the ball is going to go.

Ok, here is first test for NDS. It's working in framebuffer mode. If it works on hardware, please give me some photo - I don't have flash cart jet ;)
It works pretty good on DSEmu 0.4.3 (on 0.4.4 slower), on IdeaS is too slow to test, on Dualis touch screen isn't working :(
Waiting for your opinion - it's my first DS 'demo' ;)

Puts some new spin on a familiar concept. Looks promising.
Nice work!

It does indeed run on hardware.
I even took you some pictures (bad ones, but they're better than nothing).

I'm curious why it got slower on DSEmu 0.4.4 or why it's slow on Ideas. How are you doing the main loop? Are you using switWaitForVblank? Or looping on the VCount register? If the latter, DSEmu definitely runs slow in that case.
I'll see if I can track it down from the emulator side.

Ok, I tested on thing and it's working faster on emulators ;)
It was so stupid - I put all code into vblank interrupt handler, but I thought, that it should work correctly. Now, when it's moved to main loop it woks fine: http://dscode.revo.pl/demos/cbt1_2.zip

Yah, the VBlank interrupt should really only be for graphics code and the like, and leave the rest of the processing to the main loop. Otherwise, your VBlank code gets bloated very quickly the more complex it gets, hence the slowness.

On the other hand, Super Mario Bros. for NES runs everything off the vblank interrupt.
