wollw proposed " 'SynthGBA"Synthesizer four octaves for the Game Boy Advance.

Quote:
I started working on this project to help learn ARM assembly and I ended up putting more effort into it than I intended. It's a four octave synth that can play any major or minor scale that starts on the third through sixth octave. It is not anything fancy as it just maps the keys to the notes of the scale and lets you play but I've found it fun to play around with.

If you're interested in playing around with it you can download it and its source code here.

The source code is a bit of a mess but I really do not want to clean it up at the moment. For what it's worth it does run in No $ GBA with no errors.

Robert Morley allias Azenris proposes a new version "Krexblibos"That the passage becomes"Red Temple". The idea of the game is to collect cherries / melons and advance in levels, but for this you must solve puzzles. This new frame is seen very accomplished, see for yourself the huge changelog.

Quote:
Hi, got another update to The Game, not sure if ill do another. Ive kinda been on the one thing a while and would like to try summit different / new. So anyway I decided to upload the source code to.
I renamed to The Game Red Temple, mainly Because the other name sounded weird.

SELECT: suicide, lose a life and restart level
A: Action | Continuing
B: use special | back
X: drop current special
L-Shoulder: Special prev
R-Shoulder: next special
touchpen: only one titlescreen, for press start button

Save / Load
The Game will now keep a savefile. The savefile is auto updated after completing a level. You can load the savefile
Using continuous on the start menu. Only 1 savefile is maintained.

Particles
I started writing a simple particle engine for some special effects, not done much yet but you can move
the pen on the upper screen during the titlescreen to move the water drops.

Grabbing
* You can now grab trashcan and pull them. Grab one by facing it and press A. I added this because trashcan would Constantly
get stuck against walls. So now you can pull it away!

Bosses
* Boss 1 added to The Game. Be careful of his bullets, turrets and suction move.

Screen Scrolling
Levels can now be bigger than the screen. Allowing for more possible designs of levels. Old level size is 16x12 tiles, new design is
50x20. It could be bigger, but i dont want it to be so big it makes levels too hard. This should be enough.

Level Storage
I redesigned levels were stored how to try and Reduce the memory needed for them.

Sounds
I added some sound effects, currently using maxmod, all sound effects are me being an idiot in a mic No Music tho: /

Demonstrations
Demos are now in the options and are not played during The Game. So if you dont know how to play
You can watch the demos to learn some ideas of The Game. Demos are currently disabled, if you dont know how to play
you could play version 2 of The Game, Which has demos in it.

Item mixing
Having collected some items in your backpack will cause them to mix
* Potion + Map = Spell Powder. Spell Powder is used by clicking on a totem. It will teleport you to the starting point levels.
* Europe = + stick Fishing Rod. Fishing rod can be used in ice water to catch a fish.
* Gun powder + Metal = Dynamite. Dynamite Can be used for destroying enemy spawn points.

Turrets
Both the player and enemy can stand on switches Allowing you to take over a turret. Turrets fires bullets at intervals
killing the opposite side. By pressing the turret switches multiple times will upgrade the firing speed of the turret.
Turret levels are 0, 1, 2, 3.

Description Box
On the lower screen is a box will descriptive text may be displayed.
Example: "Your invincibility wore off" or "You have been hit. 5 Damage."

* After taking damage the player will lose its vision, it will be restored over time
* Medals are awarded per level instead of the entire game scores, different levels have different requirements
* Keycards and Metal Doors.
* Cracking Ice. Stepping on cracking ice will cause it to crack, not Allowing movement over it. Basically you get one pass over
* Short invincibility after taking damage

SquidMan has updated µSync to 0.1x

µSync is a small, lightweight mutex/synchronization library written in C. It is meant to be as small and fast as possible. It is used in LibELM for reentrancy support, but was released as a separate library, as it may have other uses.

ChangeLog
0.1x
Fixed a fatal flaw in uSyncRelease that set the data to NULL if we are holding the data.
