Homebrew [Release] Bird Whisperer - A Notification Creater

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Bird Whisperer

Bird Whisperer is a lua program that creates notifications. It still needs some work but I hope to make it better in the future.

Tutorial:
Launch Bird Whisperer from the homebrew launcher and it should have a keyboard where you can type in the title of the Notification then the Message of the Notification.

Screenshots:
None yet as there is no GUI yet.

Current Version:
V0.3 - Removed the need for the youtube app. You can now select an app before starting the app.
Download:

Future Ideas:
- Create a GUI (Hope to make it look like the normal notification app)
- Ability to change the Youtube icon to another apps icon

Requirements:
- Access to the homebrew launcher

Credits:
@smealum for creating the homebrew launcher.
@Rinnegatamante for porting Lua Player Plus to the 3DS.
@ihaveamac with helping with the issues I had.

If anyone has some ideas for this Homebrew app let me know

Maybe you could do something like :

title = System.startKeyboard("Notification title")
text = System.startKeyboard("Notification text")
System.addNotification(title, text)

it would be more convenient than editing text files.

I was working on that right now but were having a few issues thanks for the solution.

This looks great and all but I think a standalone app isn't what we need... What we need is a library, that way people (like mashers, smealum, yellows8, etc can just pop it in their homebrew, then when you launch the homebrew it gives you some kind of notification, for example when a new starter pack is released, new version of the homebrew etc. Would be pretty damn cool imo

Im just making this as an example of what can be done with notifications and maybe a way to troll your friends. I also made this since this I never made anything in Lua before and thought this might be a good way to start

Updated to V0.2 - In this version the Youtube app is still required but removed the need for .txt files. It also added background music.

Yeah! Lets make this app incompatible with everyone who doesn't use Ninjhax! I still don't understand why you need to select a target.

not everyone has Cubic Ninja, and system titles don't work.

you don't actually need YouTube (though you should get it just in case), you should have anything listed in the .xml. https://gist.github.com/ihaveamac/2f902a913fbd7352f7f9

this is because on ninjhax 2.x, it will freeze the system if you don't run the program under another game/application.

How do you do a space with the onscreen keyboard

So I could just put, say, Super Mario Bros 3 and it would work?
