5 Dice Screen Shots

[Instructions]

The goal of 5 Dice is to get as many points as possible by rolling combinations of five dice. You can roll up to three times, possibly choosing to just roll some of the dice each time. After you roll, you choose which slot to score based on the combination rolled. Different combinations of dice earn points differently. If you don't meet the requirements for the combination you choose, you still have to score it on the score card. The game ends when you have filled in all the slots on the score card.

When the text on the [Roll] button is highlighted in red, it means rolls are active.
When the text on the [Roll] button is highlighted in black, you have completed three rolls.
When the text 'hold' is highlighted in Red, it means you can hold a combination of dice for your next roll.

Tips:-

*On the Upper part of the score card, you have ones and two's. These combinations are not going to gain you many points, so try and achieve a higher scoring combination, if it fails you can select one's or two's to give you some leeway.

*On the Lower part of the score card, Five dice is also good as it's hard to achieve.

Scoring
ITEM SCORING
Ones Number of 1’s occurring
Twos Number of 2’s occurring
Threes Number of 3’s occurring
Fours Number of 4’s occurring
Fives Number of 5’s occurring

Description: Anime Image Game Engine
================================================== ==========================

Ace Attorney DS

DESCRIPTION

This application is an "Anime Image Game Engine". It is used to create and manipulate scenes to form a script in which the player can delve into. I have added extra support with this application, to support the emulation of the game "Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney". This genre of game involves a protagonist Defense Attorney whom helps defend his clients through finding out information during interrogation, examining crime scenes, moving from location to location, presenting evidence to suspects and witnesses and proving testimony in court as false.

Ace Attorney DS reads from .ini files which fill in variables needed for the case to run. This engine, or in other words "Casemaker", comes with 113 profile sprites, 280 evidence sprites, 99 maps and 941 animations (pre-scripted for you, from Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright : Justice For All). Using these resources and the knowledge of the .ini functions, you can basically re-create a Phoenix Wright game, with your own custom plot, characters, evidence/profiles, maps/collision maps, and music. Don't feel limited to only being able to make Phoenix Wright games, this is an Anime Image Game Engine with unlimited possibilities if you have ideas. A fanfiction can be played out, for instance, through this application with the necessary sprites and script. Simply put, Ace Attorney DS is a game-maker.

I also realize that many of you may or may not be familiar of Phoenix Wright games and their genre. That is why I have included several tutorials on how to use this application to its fullest capabilities and learn how to create your own games or visual novels using the engine. It can take a long time to go through every single tutorial, so I'm asking if it's possible that you guys may not judge the book by its cover and flip through the tutorials, learning how the application works. Thank you very much!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Simply place Ace Attorney DS.nds and the AADS folder into the root of your flash card.
2. Boot the ROM from whatever firmware you may be using and enjoy!

HOW TO USE

In the separate folder on the root of your flash card, named AADS, there are several folders inside. Navigate to AADS/cases/caseselection.ini and you will be able to see the case selection list used to determine the amount of cases and the folders the ROM should look for to start the cases. If you move further in, at AADS/cases/ini, there are several folders containing .ini files that the ROM reads. These .ini files are the basis of cases, and are used to define variables required by the casemaker to run. If you start the ROM up on hardware, you can begin take the tutorials (there are 30) to learn how to use the functions that are readable by the .ini files. Have fun!

MISC.

The application has DSMotion support. If you're wondering how, you can browse through the court record by tilting the DS in several directions. Also, you can press Start to save the game and suspend play.
I'm also asking if it's possible that my GUI not be ripped since I made most of the entire GUI used in the ROM.

Download link: DSwiki-0.3alpha2 and DSwiki-indexer-1.1.0
Installation: See the README below
Description: Offline Wikipedia Reader
-------------------------------------------------

OK, then, time to enter the compo. I present DSwiki. This program is a viewer application for any wikimedia powered wiki, the most famous one is surely the original "Wikipedia". But also any(!) wiki hosted on http://www.wikia.com can be used.

You can download pre-made dumps from http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/Dumps, or use an indexer to turn any database dump into usable files for DSwiki. The instructions for that can be found under http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/CreateDumps.

The new version (0.3+), exclusively built for months to reach the deadline of this compo, is not comparable to v0.2 in any way. It features a totally different approach, namely to convert the markup into XML and parsing the XML-tree.

The left image shows the rendering of a "random" article ;-) Note the typography (bold/italic), the correct rendering of the list and that you reached this page through a redirection. The right image shows the table of contents that you can use to quickly navigate the article.

The left image shows the searchable index (this screenshot was taken from the uncyclopedia), the right image demonstrates just a little of DSwiki's feature to display most unicode characters.




The last image shows a typical run of the indexer, preparing the german wikibooks for DSwiki.


If you have questions, feature requests or other things you want to say, just do that in the thread in the PAlib forum (just google it), here, or write me a mail. Bug reports should go into the list on the googlecode-page.

For the installation, see the README below. Make sure you take the tutorial on the first start, you'll learn everything you need. But you can start it also at a later time from the menu.

I hope you like DSwiki, it was a pleasure to code it.

Ciao

DSwiki (v0.3alpha2)
=====================

DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the
Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, ...

DSwiki is NOT a web browser!

Why DSwiki?
=============

DSwiki is optimal for all people with a Nintendo DS that like to
have their information "portable", but cannot access the Internet
directly. So far, no Program was very good in displaying the
Wikipedia on the DS. NewDictS can display an uncompressed dump, but
this dump is outdated, and the Wikipedia has grown dramatically
since then, so compression was absolutely necessary. In addition,
most homebrew programs can't handle UTF-8.

Features
==========

-- Get the complete(!) Wikipedia on a Nintendo DS. The English language
edition fits on a 4GB storage device, the German edition is just 1.2GB.
-- Quite good handling of internal links. Alternative display text
and appended letters are supported to create the same look as
in the online version. Subpage links are supported.
-- Very good Unicode/UTF8-Support (as much - or as little - as the
underlying font covers)
-- Fast and easy searchable index
-- Bookmarks

Usage
=======

Just take the tutorial at the first start, or start it any time later
from the menu.

Installation
==============

1. Copy DSwiki.nds somewhere on your flash card, DLDI-patch it if
necessary.

2. Create dumps of your favorite wiki or download already prepared ones.
Visit for a list.

3. Copy all files with the extensions

ifo
idx
ao1
ao2
db? [ ? = one letter, typically "a" or "b", "z" is used in older versions ]

into /dswiki. This directory must exist in the root directory of your flash card.

Planned Features
==================

-- Improved Search (advanced input)
-- "Find as you type" inside an article
-- Switching between fonts on the fly
-- Customization

DSwiki is based on
====================

-- NewDictS
Thanks to sesa for graphics-/unicode- and font-routines

-- Wiki2Touch
Thanks to Tom Haukap for the file format and index routines

-- libbzip2

-- UCS fonts
Thanks to Markus Kuhn

+ some other fonts

+ Titlegraphic
Thanks to my beloved wife


Have Fun!

This game is based on Crazy Gravity for the PC by Axel Meierhöfer.
He gave written permission to me to use the sounds and graphics of the original game.

Project description:

You are the captain of a freight shuttle on a far away moon base. Crazy gravity rules the place. Your objective is to move cargo from their platforms to your homebase; avoiding obstacles like cannons,magnets and one-way gates.

Interface (from left to right,see screenshot)
- lives (top,semi transparant)
- cargo waiting to be shipped
- cargo you are carrying
- Color keys you have collected (opens Color Gates)
- Fuel
- your time / time to beat
- landing indicator (green:safe,yellow: warning,red: slow down or crash)

Due to the flu I could only complete 3 levels, but they are pretty challenging.

Note: the levels for PC are sadly not supported. All levels were made with the included level editor (for psp, included in game).

The lua (pge) source code is open and included in the download

Asterz is a shoot-em-up space game partly inspired by the classic hit game "Asteroids", originally released in 1979 by Atari. As you begin to start playing Asterz you'll find that this game primarily involves:

#1 – Dodge the incoming asteroids and enemy ships.
#2 – Destroy the incoming asteroids and enemy ships.
#3 – Pick up the dropped powerups to increase your ammo or give your ship an extra boost.
and #4 - Don't die!

I hope that this formula makes for some fast paced addictive and fun gameplay.




~ Changelog ~

Asterz Version 1.2
- Spring Neoflash Competition Version
- New fast shooter powerup added
- New asteroid that breaks into pieces
- Message background looks more pleasant
- Arcade mode is no longer an unlockable
- Complete controls overhaul
- Lives added instead of just health
- Various subtle changes
