That looks really neat so far, reminds me of those small LCD handhelds with only one game on them. I might make a game or two for it.HugoBDesigner wrote:*Description*So, what you guys think? Would anyone bother making a game for this?

You could try to make it so people with barely any programming experience can try to make their own game (assuming that's not what you're already going for)
And I'd like to mess around with it a bit to see if I can make an interesting game.

I'm making it as "automatic" and "self-setting-up" as possible. For example, there'll be a table only for the game, so you can use "self.value" for variables. Although I could use class, I'm not using it. As for the overall game itself, I made it as simple as possible. There'll only be a few functions for users to use: "myGame_load()", "myGame_update(dt)", "myGame_draw()", "myGame_buttonPressed(button)" and "myGame_buttonReleased(button)". The drawing function will not use LÖVE standard drawing functions. Instead, it'll use built-in drawing function to draw things with the "pixels" from the screen. There are geometrical functions, like "minigame.rectangle", "minigame.point" or "minigame.circle" (and others too), there are scissors, translation (no rotation yet), text printing and even "minigame.setColor" (you set it as 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1, meaning totally blank to fully opaque). I wanted to keep the color settings simple so it would never feel out-of-place.
Even though people will have a whole pre-made platform for them to work with, I'm not sure how to make it simpler to people with little coding experience. In the end, it is still a lua file. You're very good at this, Alesan. Do you have any tips or hints to make the whole thing easier?
As for everyone, thanks for the positive feedback! As soon as I have something stable (I still need to make GUIs, menus, settings and the score system) I'll release it here and in the LÖVE forums as well :)

Well, in the end making games still takes some effort and thinking so it'll be very hard to make it so non-programmers can use it.
I think the way you're making it right now is okay.

Well, all programs have code that must be executed to run. For example, Steam has its own code to run through your OS. Notepad++ is under the GPL license I believe. Not sure if that's the same as GNU, but I'm assuming the source code is to just fiddle with it and make it your own.Danny wrote:fount this conundrum on the notepad ++ download page
a source code...... for a coding program...... that's like taco bell selling hamburgers
EDIT: Yeah, it's the same as the GNU license. Edit it at your will, and make it yours.

I do agree there should be a wikipedia article for stabyourself though. If the game is popular enough... just doesn't exactly seem right. Usually wikipedia handles it the other way, having developer articles but certainly not articles to every game.

Yeah I saw that. Just a bit abnormal to have screenshots of an unreleased and inaccurate beta highlighted on the page.

Oh wow. That's actually a really good idea!
This reminds of the time when we were in 8th grade, Nathan and I discovered that virtually any wikipedia page can bring you to communism in under ten clicks (most of them under 6). This is how we spent a good chunk of Tech class. I think I remember it being inspired by that ridiculous "degrees of bacon" theory. do I sense a new forum game
That was the most productive tech semester I ever had.

Today there was a big storm.
It just randomly got dark and began pouring and now there is no electricity in my house.
I'm going insane in here. There's no way to charge my anything. At least there isn't much light, right?
I don't like bright lights anymore. Send help if you can. This is horrific.

on the way home from school today there was a baby on the bus that kept letting out screams.
the only difference was that every time after it let out a scream, it started giggling.
because it knew.
it knew exactly what it was doing.
and it fucking enjoyed it.

I'm honestly suprised we've gone this long without a proper subject.
Anyways,
3DS revisions.
The small thing next to the ABXY buttons is a mini circle pad. (They're calling it the C stick.)
It also has ZL and ZR buttons.
Circle Pad Pro integration, as well as a faster CPU and updated 3D viewing for a wider range of sight. (The top camera tracks your head and stuff, adjusts the game to where your head is or something.)
Start and Select have been put in their proper spot again, while the home button remains where it is.
The volume slider has been moved to the top screen to mirror the 3D slider.
There is no more wireless switch, instead you turn off communications from the Home menu. (Downgrade for me...)
NFC is on the bottom screen, so that you can place amiibos there. (What's going to become of the NFC add-on for the original 3DS...?)
The microphone is once again labeled.
New 3DSs are slightly bigger and are being sold for the same price as the standard ones.
In Japan, they're being called the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DSXL. Let's hope that dosen't come back here to the English-speaking countries.
Speaking of which, this releases October 10th for Japan, but next year for us.
The Web Browser is now running on HTML5, which is faster. You can also view videos there now.
Faster CPU, as I said before; this means going through menus easier and faster downloads.
The power button, stylus, and game card slot have been moved to the bottom of the unit.
I almost forgot to mention better battery life. (6-7 hours or so.)
The screen's brightness self-adjusts or something. Saves battery.
There may be some exclusive games for this system because of the faster CPU, but they probably won't be numerous.
Instead of a SD card slot, there's a MicroSD card slot. The N3DS comes standard with 4GB ones. (As well as the XL) (Woo, I use one of those anyway in an adapter for my 3DS.)
You can do a system transfer from the 3DS to the N3DS, but not the other way around.
There's wireless connectivity to computers now (Windows 7 and 8, I heard) so that you can transfer photos and backup data.
Wireless light indicator is also at the bottom of the system, along with the power light and charging light. It's the trio from the DSi.
The N3DS uses the same charging port as the 3DS.
Once more: Improved CPU, (I discovered this while typing) the N3DS has double the RAM and nearly double the VRAM. Yeah, I think we're going to get some powerful titles exclusive to the N3DS here.
Some of the more visual features:
Home menu themes.
Coming to standard 3DSs as well via update in October.
Also swapable covers (only for the N3DS non-XL) like phone cases, sorta.
The SDHC card slot is hidden under the cover for some reason.
I have no idea where the slot is on the XL model, though.
Full trailer that I neglected showing:
Edit:
Here's where you put the SDHC card. (With the back cover of the N3DSXL removed.)

There will indeed be N3DS exclusives; one of them is a port of Xenoblade Chronicles.
It looks like it'll be marketed like the DSi was (half-step generation), but the specs make me wonder if it's actually a new generation entirely...

The new features are cool but I don't think they're enough for me to get one.
I really hope Nintendo doesn't make too many games exclusive just so more people get it and not because the game really needs it.

All I'm really hoping for is that you'll be able to exchange the regular 3DS for the new one.
I mean they're even selling it at the same price as the normal 3DS.
