I feel that it's my obligation to step aside as Level Director. It's just a time issue. Since I am also a global mod that also takes some of my focus from the CP. So, it's nothing against anybody or what not, I'm just out of time anymore it seems. Sorry again.

lol, with extreme difficulty. Porting applications across multiple platforms is an art form in itself, it is never easy, but is possible with some advanced coding.

No, No. I mean there's no differance in gameplay between Keyboard and mouse and DS stylis and buttons. If I made a game on DS homebrew only those who can run homebrew could use it, but on PC a lot more people could, so why run on DS? Logged

Owh god, thats going to be a nasty task. I wish you good luck with that, the DS and PC architecture are incredibly different, porting between them is going to be hard.

libnds? Its more or less directly interfacing the hardware, there a just a few pointers wrapped in defines and such.

I wish you good luck with that, the DS and PC architecture are incredibly different, porting between them is going to be hard. Well, first off it is only an idea, but yea I wasn't expecting a copy/paste project. I would have to resize/redo all the graphics, redo the graphics/network/input code, but the overall logic of how the game works and plays out, should pretty much be intact... it's a challenging project, but i do believe this game would work well with the NDS's controls and dual screens and if it was too easy it probably wouldn't be worth doing.
