DS homebrew announcements > LineWarsDS (port of LineWars II) public beta

#169446 - Pate - Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:36 am

Hello!

I just released a Nintendo DS port of my 15 years old DOS game LineWars II as a public beta. It is called LineWarsDS. More info can be found on my LineWars web pages at http://linewars.patrickaalto.com/.

See screen copy here: http://linewars.patrickaalto.com/lwds.png

Thanks for reading, please let me know if you find any problems with the game! It has a couple of minor bugs, but they don't affect the game play, so I decided to release it already as a public beta.

Wow old school. Good to see you still developing. I don't really remember much about LineWars but I'm sure I downloaded it from a BBS.

*Nice*, LineWars II was always one of the games I'd need to have whenever I'd set up an old-games-dir on one of my systems :O

Grabbing!

Thanks for the kind words, nice to see there are people around who still remember LineWars II. :-)

It was a lot of fun porting the code (the original LW2 was coded in 100% assembler, and LineWars DS is 100% C language, so I ported it to the opposite direction to what is normally done, I guess) and it actually was easier than I thought. The libnds and devkitARM are really nice to work with.

Looking forward to coding more stuff for NintendoDS in the future. :-)
