Homebrew The Most Useless DS

[signz]

I wouldn't even say that's the most useless thing... That would be that nyancrap.

*facepalm* 2 hours and < 100 lines of code... I see.

Youtube the app, please! My 3ds can't run HB!

This is right up there with Desert Bus as one of the greatest games I've ever played in my life. I love you all :'D

 

[WiiUBricker]

This is a useless homebrew.

Fixed.

 

[awssk8er]

Just played it on my DStwo. I lol'd.

Btw, that video is nuts.

 

[Fel]

The video was so funny, poor robot though, to be bullied though.

And the homebrew looks interesting, I'll try it out if I remember to (should study now instead).

But I want one of those

- it'll keep the kids amused for ages
(well it amused ME especially when it went 'mental')

 

[Ikki]

This is the kind of thing the DS was made for.

That video, at 1:25 - Do a barrel roll!

yes, you're getting the hang of this thread.

google "solarbotics" (not to be confused with the game Solatorobo) and/or "most useless machine", and links to how to buy one/make one should appear. btw, you guys should also check out the Itazura Coin Bank. same principles, except when the lid opens, a cat pops out and paws a coin (trigger, instead of switch) into the box. so awesome. XD

I'm seriously working on it right now.

CODEÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (touchXY.px > strtol("7B", NULL, 16) && touchXY.px < strtol("8A", NULL, 16) && touchXY.py > strtol("53", NULL, 16) && touchXY.py < strtol("62", NULL, 16) && v_switch == 0) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂv_switch = 1;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂv_pushed = v_pushed+10;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂframe = 0;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}

I've got the main functions done, now I just need to code in what happens when the homebrew gets pissed off at you.
I see your logic and raise you code I don't even understand anymore. How the hell I managed to come up with:
CODEÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (((p1.col < (SCR_HALFWIDTH - p1.width/2)) && (p1.col >= (-SCR_HALFWIDTH + p1.width/2))) &&
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ((p1.row < SCR_HALFHEIGHT) && (p1.row >= -SCR_HALFHEIGHT)))ÂÂ{ÂÂ//ensures only on-screen pixels get drawn
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdrawRectDMA(p1.row + (SCR_HALFHEIGHT - p1.height/2), p1.col + (SCR_HALFWIDTH - p1.width/2), // keep entire thing centered
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂp1.height, p1.width, drawColor);ÂÂ//shift to center of screen
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}

is beyond me. I'm sure it made sense at the time...

EDIT: Just in case, I want to make it clear that I'm just being silly and not accusative here.

This is why I tend to comment almost every line, so I know what the crap I was thinking when I go back to it later.

 

[DanTheManMS]

I typically do the same, as I don't trust my own memory very much. I just hope that my style of commenting is the exception rather than the norm, hehe.

 

[Rydian]

People seem to get annoyed when I do that... Yes, if you see a line calling a single function with a single argument it's easy to see what it's doing, but it's also important to know why it's there.

 

[Godson777]

The video... and the app..... was... just... plain.... stupid.

 

[YoshiInAVoid]

Make it a firmware update for R4, then when it boots the R4's menu, make it shut the DS down.

"the rom image has crashed" when trying to launch in no$gba

edit: nice source commenting, though ;p

hrrm, i just compiled it myself and it runs fine... maybe no$gba just hates the version of devkitpro you have installed...
