Yay!! Finally, I was able to finish my first PSP homebrew game project. I introduce you, Tweexter. I really can can’t come up with a great name so i just combined twist and texter. Tweexter is very similar to Gamehouse’s Texttwist. You are given a set of 7 letters(on future release, it will be a combination of 6 and 7 letters) and you have to unscramble it to a more sensible word. To advance to the next round you need to solve the 7 letter word.

I was really planning on porting Texttwist to PSP, retaining the graphics and sounds but I figured that i could get in a lot of trouble if I do so. So i restarted from scratch, producing the graphics, except for the background. Currently, there is no sound effects, but i’m planning to add sfx on the next releases.

Included in the release is the source code. I am not a great programmer, so please don’t expect super fast and efficient algorithms. It was written in C++, but can be easily converted to C. I’m not an expert in C, so I just used this project as an opportunity to experience C++. The use of classes was a total mess and since i’m too lazy to rewrite it, I ended up sticking to it. To compile the source code, you’ll need a pspsdk, and a couple of it’s dependencies, namely, libpng and zlib.

Nice! I don't know if anyone has made this into homebrew yet before you. I've seen tons of these in flash form online. Many of which you can probably play on the psp. But this is great that you made It into homebrew. The controls might be wierd though, It would probably have been better to make for the nintendo ds because not only can you not get online on the ds to play the flash versions, but the touch screen controls would work much better than the d-pad PSP controls.

Anyways, great work new programmers and homebrew is always welcome in the homebrew community.

I gotta admit it is very hard to maintain the dictionary. Sorry for that. Hopefully, with some help for user feedbacks, there will also be updates on the dictionary.
