Eject any cartridges you're not using, and turn down the backlight. Speakers probably use more battery than headphones, though using no sound at all will use up the least amount of power.

wat about the use of a flash cart?
cuz i know that using flashcarts burn more juice?
Click to expand...

They use more juice but only 10-15 minutes difference in power. But that is only for slot-1 cards. I know that running cards from slot-2 will drain the power faster

Also, games like EBA or others that use the touch screen a lot will run out of power faster as well.

If you have a phat DS, Datel sells (or used to sell) a battery expansion pack. I picked one up at Best Buy a couple years back for about $5. It adds a bit more to the DS, but mine runs well past 8 hours on a single charge which includes using a flash cart: Supercard SD and a Supercard DSONE

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
