WireWorld DS is a DS version of a cellular automation under the same name.
So far it has:
- basic WireWorld implemented
- editor builtin
- clear/clear electrons
- settings, some more settings!
- a title screen
- scrolling.
Well, it's my first DS homebrew utility.
About WireWorld
WireWorld has 4 states:
space - represented by black
wire - represented by gold
spark - represented by red
tail - represented by blue
Spark changes to tail.
Tail changes to wire.
Wire changes to spark if it's surrounded by 1 or 2 sparks.
Even with so simple rules, it's able to implement many stuff in it, even a computer! (Don't try it at home, kids)
Changes:
+ - added
- - removed
* - modified
/ - bugfixed
! - important
. - unimportant but still
$ - something
| Quote: |
1.0 RC1:
! The first released 1.0 version!
+ scrolling finished

this is quite fun to muck around with. i dont really understand it, but its fun. what is the actual point of this? and what can you do with it?
oh yea, and what do you mean by "Even with so simple rules, it's able to implement many stuff in it."? implement things like what?
sorry for all the questions but this is a totaly new 1 to me.
#149825 - Kyoufu Kawa - Fri Jan 25, 2008 7:36 pm
A Game of Life variant? Interesting.
#149826 - jay001 - Fri Jan 25, 2008 7:43 pm
after some wiki help i see the posiblities, very nice.
#149832 - asiekierka - Fri Jan 25, 2008 9:17 pm
Woah, some interest? Yay.
It seems i will make 0.2 then.
#149930 - 0xtob - Sun Jan 27, 2008 4:03 pm
Very nice program! Plain and simple, yet very powerful :) For those who don't know about wireworld, check out the Wikipedia article or this huge page with examples.

0.3 released.
I'm now stopping to work on WireWorld DS, it has anything important (except saving).
Source code is released now.
If anybody will like to continue development/fix the bug, tell me.

create a blank .txt name it wireworld.txt and place it in root of your card.

To answer all lurkers saying that there's no wireworld.txt, make an empty file named "wireworld.txt" on the root of your card.
#150229 - asiekierka - Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:26 pm
Sorry for double-posting, but this is an important information.
I may fix the saving bug myself, and work on this app a bit more. You CAN modify it and publish a new version, but keep in mind i may still release a version or two. Also, I'll release the original BMP of the graphics soon.
#150343 - asiekierka - Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:02 pm
Triple-posting should be justified now.
OH MY GOD I RELEASED 0.4.
It brings a gigantic improvement to SPEED and fixes the saving bug!
0.5 will feature scrolling on a 256x256 map.
EDIT: did i say size?
#150346 - jay001 - Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:58 pm
lol, its quite funny how in the text file it looks like a penis.
#150532 - Shot - Wed Feb 06, 2008 9:54 am
It appears to be saving fine (based on the fact that the contents of wireworld.txt change when I save different things) but when I attempt to load all that happens is a full clear. Any ideas?
#150540 - asiekierka - Wed Feb 06, 2008 2:46 pm
!?! I don't know why, i'll check that later.
#152238 - asiekierka - Wed Mar 12, 2008 3:49 pm
0.5 IS RELEASED!
It features a bunch of addons...
Also, there's a bug i didn't fix, sadly, but there's hopefully a workaround. I promise it'll be fixed in 0.5a or 0.6.
#152280 - asiekierka - Thu Mar 13, 2008 9:39 am
And after a very, very short wait, 0.5a is released.
Link in the first post.
Fixed the thread a bit, too.
#152291 - woodbin - Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:59 am
That is veeeeeery nice!!!! I love this type of games/apps!

It's a must-have for anybody!

Thank you ^_^
#155445 - asiekierka - Tue Apr 29, 2008 6:05 pm
... 1.0 may be released, but also may be not, due to conflicts between #dsdev@Blitzed and me. Until i find a replacement channel for GBA/DS development, i'm not going to say a word about WireWorld DS/new projects.
EDIT: temporaily, you can make a chat to me about WireWorld DS 1.0 at #wwds@Blitzed.
#155686 - asiekierka - Fri May 02, 2008 7:56 pm
1.0 RC1 released!
1.0 dosen't mean that this is complete; rather it means that i don't have any idea what else to add. I plan to maybe add support for a different color scheme for the final 1.0, and maybe something else.
#155818 - garethfc - Sun May 04, 2008 6:23 pm
great app, but I can't save anything =/
error: cannot open wireworld.txt
why? I've put an empty txt named "wireworld" in the root of my card but it doesn't work (R4DS)
any idea?
#156020 - asiekierka - Tue May 06, 2008 9:35 am
garethfc: Did you DLDI patch the WireWorld binary? Remember NOT TO USE the _nodldi one if you want saving.
#156096 - josath - Tue May 06, 2008 11:04 pm
how about make the app just check if fatInitDefault() succeeded or failed, then you wont need two separate .nds files? less chance for user confusion as well.
#156106 - nsm333 - Tue May 06, 2008 11:31 pm
yah, i agree with josiath. and, is it possible to change the key bindings? also, i have an idea. you could make a cellular automaton, but just with a set of rules that can be changed.

Unless it takes 10 seconds for fatInitDefault() to decide whether it wants to succeed or fail as it probes for various brands of SLOT-1 and SLOT-2 cards through built-in drivers. I have had this happen to me on NO$GBA.

You know, i have 1.0 RC2 (or 1.0 final, i don't remember) nearly done, with a 160x128 map. But no, i wouldn't give it out to the community, due to some people (i'm talking about you, stonecypher (or whoever are you here), yes). Maybe 0xtob will get a chance to see it. Nobody else though.
I know i'm now killing all the fans of my tool, but i wouldn't give out a tool only to have it mocked by the "lord" of #dsdev.
#157348 - BigRedPimp - Thu May 22, 2008 11:55 am
Oh don't blame StoneCypher for your douchery. You're a pirate and you're being treated as such. StoneCypher has nothing to do with what's happened to you. Don't bring IRC drama onto the forums. It has no place here. Just release your app when you feel like it.

Who the fuck cares, I wrote the hard parts of your app anyway, you worthless cretin.
Next time you pull shit like this, I'm going to ask mute to remove your account. Get off the cross, warezer.
