Guys, I'm considering starting some DS coding...
I...I would like some ideas for it...
I have one, like the little wooden maze with a ball (called Labrynth) but I'm not sure about that...
Care to give any suggestions?
And DCEmu will be the ONLY place my game will be shown, DCEmu is life for me...
Thanks all.
PS: I posted it here because I wanted to keep it private so I'm not hounded by people wanting to play it, and I want to surprise them.
Um, maybe you code do a 2d sidescroller to start off... Or maybe even something easier since your just starting off. You could port my baseball trivia game to the DS :p
Are you using Lua or c? And do you know where to start?
C++ or Lua, whatever I can gets me hands on first.
....I have no idea.
Lua would probably be a good starting point. I'd recommend pming a lua coder such as gizmo356 or Zion to get you started.Quote:

I would suggest learning c or c++, though harder much more promising for the long run and its documented much, much better... These links shoulf help you out get started if you decide to go with c/c++
