DekuTree64 (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=14116&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=3af6e4cfddffa96f3852edf31c4452a2) has released a new version of Animanatee for the Nintendo DS:
Heres the release details:
Yet another little art program for DS.
The controls are explained in the program, but here are the basic features:
- 2 layers ("BG" and "frame"). BG gets copied over when you create a new frame, so you can have a persistent background, or modify it as you go.
- 60 color palette, which can all be modified.
- 4 brush sizes
- Up to 10000 frames, or until memory runs out.
- Undo/redo. Up to 32 levels, or until it fills its 128KB buffer.
- Onion skinning (sort of, only shows one previous frame).
Experimental version 1.3a for those who are still getting corrupted saves. In daninski's files, it seemed to be writing out the correct number of bytes, but just big spans of zeroes in a couple of frames. I don't know if any DLDI drivers are using DMA or anything, but missing data seems suspiciously like a cache coherency problem, so I added a cache flush before saving.
NEW in v1.3
- Error checking on file access.
- Changed export format to .avi instead of .flc.
- Added a button so you can save without exporting, since it takes a while.
- Added a progress bar when saving.
Things I'd like to add:
- Better onion skinning.
- Better save system. At the very least, thumbnails or something.
- Offsetting (like to scroll the background a few pixels per frame).
- Less stylus jumping.
- A Mario Paint style music sequencer.
- Playing a wav/mp3/etc. file along with the animation.
- Recording a sound track with the microphone.
Feel free to add to the list, or to vote for which of the ones on there that you'd like to see first.
Cheers!
