Homebrew homebrew idea: dictionary

[drktempl4r]

i know its the opposite of gaming but i was doing my homework today and i couldnt think of what a word meant and i was no where near the internet or a dictionary.
i think it would be cool if someone made a dictionary app.

 

[CPhantom]

I'd like an advanced dictionary myself, and not something tiny. Something like dictionary.com on the ds without using a Wifi connection would be wonderful.

 

[dinofan01]

This is actually a good idea. Maybe have a certain amount of word on the app and be able to connect to wifi to get more words to save space.

 

[Feels Good Man]

There's already a dictionary app and several ones at that.

Forget what they're called though : \

NewDict I think? iono

It's also an encyclopedia IIRC. You just have to get the dictionary & encyclopedia files.

EDIT - It's called NewDictS07m

 

[VatoLoco]

Here's a basic DsDictionary

Here's NewDictS, which is very customizable.

Both found here a GBAtemp in the Dowload section

I'll just assume that there's a dictionary out there somewhere that uses the wiki format, in which case you could use dswiki:

dswiki


...word is bondage...

 

[pilotwangs]

Nice,might have to use one of those soon.

You can also download the dictionary in .txt format from Moonbooks and use a text editor to scroll through it (or use Vi in DSLinux to be able to search through it).

You can also download the dictionary in .txt format from Moonbooks and use a text editor to scroll through it (or use Vi in DSLinux to be able to search through it).

but that would take forever

and won't a developer need to type up ALL the words from a real dictionary while creating such a homebrew? (or unless ALL the words could be exported from a site.. I dunno)
