So basicaly there is this oppen source and improved version of super hexagon called open hexagon:
http://vittorioromeo.info/projects.html
So I was thinking about porting it to 3ds it will take time and I don't know how much I will have to change the code but I think a lot so maybe I won't do it but I will try :3

I had the same idea and already checked the sources (maybe not from that website, the one I learned from was javascript+canvas port from bubblegumballon).

I just didn't had time to work on 3DS homebrew yet :(

I had idea to make it in 3D, but didn't understand how to use aemstro.
I analyzed it to understand what could be ported to 3D Z axis, difficulty, levels, etc.
Well, I don't want to discourage you, don't drop your project just because I had the same idea. I don't know if I'll release it either.

If you want, I can share the few things I did, but it will require coding it from scratch in C/C++.
I don't know what's easier for you, understanding and coding it entirely, or porting an existing C sources.

In 3D? Regular Super Hexagon isn't headache-inducing enough for you?

I thought it would render great with depth of field effect.
just options to enable/disabled effects with scores and wall of fame for example
well, I had ideas, and it just stayed ideas :(

If you Haven't just try open hexagon it is far the best Alternative of sh and i think it is even better since you can mod it,use custom map and play in multilayer so I will try to port most of this to 3ds i think it won't be in 3dsx since i prefer having full power of the 3ds

Nooo, I love this game, make it at least in cia format so I can play it pls :D
I just said before that it will be in cia but there is like a lot of work and i have to replace most of libraries with own code so you will have to wait a bit since it is my first 3ds homebrew and I need to learn a bit more about but i plan to do it as cia and as 3dsx

Okay so I read fastly the source code of oppen hexagon and it is god damn huge so knowing that I'm lazy rewriting everything would just be a mindexploding idea so I think that creating it from zero would be easier
but I will still add somes option such as custom levels and things

you should read the javascript version, it's very very small.
(it even adds commands to make it even shorter, so it's hard to read the first time)
expand and "uncompress" the canvas commands and you'll understand how it works.
it's very small.

There's a trick with canvas to pause/move/write/move/unpause to put the axis center at the top corner, but it can probably be done without that trick on 3DS.
on canvas, it prints everything out of screen then shift the camera to get the center of sin/cos at the center of the screen. instead of moving the canvas, shit the sin/cos results to screen or 3D scene coordinate directly.

like I said, if you want I can give you my sources, I have already expanded the canvas commands and added some comments to understand what is happening.


edit:
Damn, why is he banned now?
edit2: ROM requesting and sharing on the forum. Don't do that, read the rules.

I'll work on my hexagon port when I have time.

Cool! Feel free to let me know if you have any problems with it, since it hasn't received too much testing by people other than me, yet.

I think I read somewhere that it's only for three days.
(this place seriously lacks a "dear moderators" subforum :/ )

it lacks a "suspended" status instead of ban...
I thought he was banned (permanently).

could be an idea to suggest to tj_cool ;)


glad you are back.
I hope you'll manage to code your project.
I'm lacking time to do mine :(
But I still have hope I'll code it one day.
