I made a Bible-reading program a while ago and didn't release it because some extra features (bookmarking, searching, verse look-up) had seemingly unfixable bugs and the code was a huge mess even though it was the second time I rewrote the whole thing.
Anyways, I've still been using it and have been finding it still quite useful so I've decided to release it here.

i'm not really a big fan of the bible (or religion in general...) but all of that aside this is a nice app you've put together! layout is nice, color scheme is nice.
good work!

It's very nice! I'm Buddhist, so I didn't really get anything out of it but it is very well written.

Do you have any plans to add multiple translations?

Thanks!
The last time i tried a Bible reader for DS (I forget the specific name) it wouldn't work with the build of DSOrganize that I was using so I never got to try it out.

You should enter this in the Moon Books contest.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Maybe, if I can find some. I know there is another Bible reader for DS that has 5 translations, although they seem to be in a binary format that I can't read. If I find some other translations in the same format as the current one though, it'd be easy to add that feature. Actually it'd probably be pretty easy to make a quick program that converts a different bible format to the one DSbible uses.

Yeah I'm planning to, but first I think I might add some features (searching, verse look-up, favourites, other translations), then I will enter it. Or if I decide not to keep working on it I'll just enter the current one (with a moonbooks splash screen or whatever is required.) I wasn't going to keep working on this but since people seem interested (and since I don't have anything else to work on) I might change my mind about that. :P

Isn't there a Koran DS, too? I remember seeing it somewhere. Now we need a Tora DS, but it into one program and have a 3-in-1. :^)
So, as soon as some sort fanatic (or want-to-be) of any of these religions crosses your path, you could verify anything they say. And spilling out religious phrases can be impressive in the right situations (think Pulp Fiction <lol>)... ;^D
Good luck!

Already done. The Torah, or Law of Moses, is part of the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The Christian Bible consists of the Tanach (called the "Old Testament" by Christians) plus the New Testament. So we already have 2-in-1; we just need someone's English interpretation of the Qur'an, as you mentioned.

Well if anyone has another book that is organized into books chapters and verses, all they'd have to do is edit books.h to put in the names of the books and put their book into the format that DSbible uses, and it'll read it just fine. Actually, if/when I make the next version of this, I'll make it get the list of books from the text file, to encourage that.

If you could, I would like to at least see the NLT in your program.

You should also add options to toggle words of Christ in red and text size, too.

All the good translations, including NLT, are copyrighted so it would be illegal to include it.

That'd be a lot of work to go through each translation and mark all the parts that he speaks...

Excellent. I've only been using it for a short time, but I'm already a big fan of this software. The layout is nice, and it's very easy to find whatever verse you are looking for. Multiple translations would be really cool.
