Okiwi alpha demo released - Free DS web browser

[DanTheManMS]

The first release of the FREE Internet Web Browser from Okiwi:

Spread the Word

After some good programming sessions, the alpha version is ready.

Some notes:

- The file can be unpacked directly to the root of the flashcard, that is, Okiwi directory must be just under the root.

- Inside this there's the fonts directory, which contains three TrueType font files for the different character families, and also those fonts prerendered at different sizes (*.okf) and some other which contains tables needed to associate character bitmaps with their Unicode codes (*.okm). The extensions stand for Okiwi Font and Okiwi Map, respectively. If these fieles are deleted, the software will generate them again from the TrueType fonts, so each one can use the typography he/she likes more. The included fonts are Bitstream Vera.

- By now the only way to move along the document is to drag it with the stylus.

- The only working buttons by the moment are: the first, which will allow in a future to enter an URL, and the last, which allows to set the zoom level.

- By misfortune, the other displaying mode I wanted to include, with a general view in a screen and a zoomed one in the other, isn't there yet.

- The icons have been designed by my brother. Actually, he has created some variants, but I've had to choose one of them. In future versions they will be able to be selected.

- As I said, DLDI is used. Released files are patched for SuperCard Lite. If you have another device, you'll have to use the patcher with the corresponding patch for your flashcart.I think this is a prosiming result.

Keep in mind that this version does not have wireless networking code included yet. In addition, you cannot load your own external pages, so the only viewable page is the built-in one.

An internet browser that cannot browse the internet.

Pure genious.

(yes, I spelled genius wrong on purpose)

I understand this is still in alpha, & while it does look good, why release this?

I have to agree with Deburner.

Bweh? The top screen turns red and the bottom screen stays black?

Guessing you didn't create the subdirectories properly.. in the archive there's an owiki directory, put that on the root of your card.
