Project description:

Speed Trap it's a topdown view racing arcade game for NDS. The main objetive of game it's complete all track laps before time runs out.

How to use:

Speed Trap
Beta Version 20100802

This is a very early version of Speed Trap, soo I need as many testers as possible to can adjust the difficulty of the game, so please those who test it, report the time made in the forum, so among all find a balanced difficulty.


How to run the game.

The game uses NitroFS file system, so it is possible that your flashcard can not execute directly.
If so, start it using the "homebrew menu", which you will find in the folder concerned.

Important!!!
This game uses some advanced graphic effects that not works nice on emulators. Soo run always you can on real hardware.

How to play.

The controls are easy. A, accelerate, B, brake and turn with the pad. We can reposition the car on track if we stop it completely and press the X button. Press START at anytime to come back
to main menu.

From: Quebec, Canada
Division: GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO

Project description:
Last year, I've entered with You Have to Burn The Rope DS, which was a remake of a flash game. I've added a couple of new cool functions, like achievements and mods. I was done with PaLib. This year, I wanted something fresh with an original concept, and to use libnds directly. Here comes Super Extreme Smile.
In this game you are a Smile. A rolling smile... It cannot move, the only way to move it, is to use the touchscreen to ROTATE ALL THE WORLD AROUND IT. The smile is affected by gravity and thus, moving. Every time you rotate the screen, it keeps it's original velocity. Now the fun thing :
You can create your map, save them on the DS, load them again, and send them here, right in this post, so we can all play it ^^
The editor is easy to use. Each tiles are sampled on the top screen, and you can switch screen by pressed L or R. Then you can change tile, zoom, save, load or move around on the minimap. Here is some infos :

-Development started June 28th, I'm alone on this project.
-59 tiles. Each tiles should explain itself. If you don't understand it, try it !
-You can save with whatever name you want, 16 characters maximum. And you can always change it afterwards with Windows because loading doesn't (shouldn't) care about your name
-Maps are 124x60 tiles. Yes, this is a lot of place
-Collisions should all work, be aware there are sometimes bugs with velocity too high. If something REALLY doesn't work, tell me. Else, try to think of another way (More space between ?)
-Options contains : Change language (English or French), Flash or not, if it hurts your eyes, Pause = mostly for debugging but decided to leave it there so you can see more things, Music loudness, Music tempo (pretty fun =P ), Music changing automatically when you change mode, current music playing. You can change between musics in-game. There are 6 different and original one, and if you want one smoother, slow it down ! =D
-There are 50 achievements. Some will be done with time, some take skills. Some requires you to create a map to achieve it.

There is 15 campaign maps, 6 music.
All musics are from my sister, except : Main Menu and Rythmic Music, by me
Maps 1-2-4-5-11-13 are from my Brother, the others from me.

I highly recommend playing on a flashcard because it won't save on a emulator. When you exit it, you lose all progress. Since some achievements are only available for flashcard, you CANNOT get them all on a emulator.

Screenshots :



How to use:

Extract the file directly on the root of your DS or
Copy the .nds file wherever you want, then place the smile folder on the root of your card. You need the "data" folder inside your "Smile" folder.

CONTROLS :
Select - Change mode.

The game :
Touchscreen - Move
L or R - Stop Time (Use this)
Motion - Move (While time is Stopped with L or R (not with Touchscreen), DS must be vertical )
Down or B - Restart from checkpoint
Up or X - Restart from start
Start - Pause

The editor :
L or R Unpressed :
Arrows or ABXY - Move
Start - Change language in rotation
Touchscreen - Place tiles.

L or R Pressed (Top screen swapped) :
Touchscreen - Every control (Change tile, save, load, zoom, move around faster)


I would like some feedback at : [email protected]
You can also send me some maps, I would love it ^^

Thanks, I hope you'll have fun !

Project description:
The objective of this game is to draw on the touch screen paths by which a ball bounces up to a star, and so, go to the next level, the game has 30 levels (as their first version) in which there are obstacles that prevent reaching the end, plus it has a level editor, save to the microSD to play them later.

How to use:
It has four menus:

1. Start game (starts the game from the first level)
2. Select level (you choose the level at which you want to start)
3. Create levels (menu for the creation of levels)
4. Play levels created (menu and play levels created earlier)


The level editor espesificar only need a starting point, the point of view and draw with the stylus obstacles to reach the final. It has 8 slots of levels, which are stored in a single file on DSpaintball.dat at the root of the microSD, then play them.

Rar is included in the version of flash cart that works only in flash cart (DSpaintball_flash.nds) and that this, is properly patched with DLDI, and a version of emulator (Dspaintball_emu.nds) not use the file saved DSpaintball. dat, you can only create levels and then play them, and that closing the emulator such deletion.
