DS App Studio
Hi All!

I just released the new beta of DS App Studio, which does include 3D functionality. I also made a new manual that talks about all the new functions and how they work in DS App Studio. I also included 8 tutorial examples to show how to use most of the functions.

~ Tutorial1 - HelloWorld

~ Tutorial2 - UsingVariables

~ Tutorial3 - DisplayingBackgrounds

~ Tutorial4 - DrawingSprites

~ Tutorial5 - HavingMultipleForms

~ Tutorial6 - DpadCameraMovement

~ Tutorial7 - UsingControls

~ Tutorial8 - DetectingStylus

The download of the setup can be found on the Downloads page. If you have any troubles or questions, contact me at [email protected] or post it here.

I will also be submitting examples for all to see how DS App Studio, like the SimpleFPS example on the AwsomiSoft Forums

Ok. I've figured out what makes No$GBA mess up. First of all, how do you use the sound commands? I can't seem to get them working. If I copy/paste it directly, and change the variable to the name of the sound, then try to run it, that is what screws up the emulator.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

The sound command is playsound(in quotes the name of the sound)

First, you have to go to Resources | Load Sound and find a .wav file that you want to use.

Then, rename the sound Sound.

Now, replace all the code with this code to see it working:

playsound("Sound");
wait();
endif();

I cannot test it. No$GBA gives me a "Cartridge not found" error. Even if I use that code you provided me.

Yeh keep trying
Had that once, it is a bug in your coding somewhere.

Does the application compile correctly? When you click Run, a console also pops up and does it say there are any errors, or is it fine?

It might be a bug. When the message pops up, click Okay, and go to C:\DSAppStudio\Temp and select the Temp.nds. That will play the application.

I found what the bug is. I cannot find a "Temp.nds" after I compiled it. That's why No$GBA gives me the error.

It's impossible if RoyalCardMan told me to use the code he provided me.

What is the error in the console?

 

[loco365]

What is the error in the console?

There is no errors. It compiles just fine, then No$GBA gives me the error. I went into the Temp folder to find the Temp.nds and it wasn't there.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

Hmm...What version of Windows do you have? Do you have Windows Vista or Windows 7?

Edit: Try searching your computer for a file called Temp.nds. Windows Vista I think has a different way of where it puts the file.

Vista 32-bit Home Premuim. I added the screenshot in that previous post.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

Try searching your computer for a file called Temp.nds. I think it may have placed the file in a different directory because of security features that Vista has.

The first place I looked is in the Temp folder under C:\. It wasn't there. I then ran a quick search. Nothing came up. But, thing is, I don't think that's the problem because if I compile the sample 3D cube demo, or any of the other demos, it works perfectly fine until Temp.nds is lost.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

It is like Windows Vista deletes it right after it is compiled.

Check the permissions for the C drive. It may not allow files to be created in the C drive right now because of a certain permission.

Here is a guide on how to do it: Here

You actually have helped me see what to do with different operating systems for DS App Studio.

Nope. Didn't work. I have the cube demo on my Acekard. It successfully compiled after I reinstalled it. It seems whenever I use the playsound command, this happens.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

Okay, it seems that it works on only Windows XP.

I'll try to see what is going on.

Only on XP... Would it work on Windows 2000?

 

[RoyalCardMan]

Yes it would.

Edit: I don't know why it isn't working on Vista with that command, and I will keep looking. I'll try to find the solution.

DS App Studio may just only work on Windows 98 to Windows XP. I will try to make a Vista version soon.

Well, I tried a Virtual Machine of Win 2000, but I cannot install .net 3.5. I guess I'll have to wait.

Windows f*cking '98?
That's some advanced shizle you got there mate.
Anyway, back on topic, is the Syntax Highlighting fast in this?
Scintilla I presume.
