Hi.. here's my first attempt at DS homebrew.. a minigame type thing.... MAGNETIC SHAVING DERBY!

I made it for a little coding compo where you had to use a random game name generator to come up with a name, and then make it into a game.

It's not coded well. I'm a noob, learning C++ as I go. Most of my coding experience is with BlitzMax, though I did mess around with Turbo Pascal and C years ago. Having stacks of fun making stuff for the DS! This is the first game I've come anywhere close to finishing :O

enjoy...or something :P


PS.. Scoring works something like this: You get points for each hair you cut. You lose points the more time it takes. you also lose points for cutting yourself. You lose more points if you're too slow and your beard starts growing again. Popping The Pimple results in temporary reverse polarity, during which you get double the points for each hair cut. If you manage to not get cut at all, you get bonus points....and if you also win before regrowth starts, you get even more bonus points.

hey, thanks dudes!

I've slightly updated it....

- You can now hit Start to give up the current run.
- High score for current session is kept track of.
- Made title music sound slightly better on DS speakers.
- Beard regrowth score penalty is now on a sliding scale.

Someone scored over a thousand by being really bad at it. The updated scoring system might stop that kind of thing from happening. :D
