DSe Notepad [BETA]

[wraggster]

News/release from Enira of a Notepad App for the DS:

Note:
Be aware that this is a beta. This code has never seen any hardware so I do not know how it will react.
But it worked whilst emulated.
In this beta, the text file gets written into the SRAM. (So no fancy screens etc...) (Thanks Mollusk for the idea.)

About the project:
Know Issues:
-The scrollbar should be optimized.
When the text autoscrolls because you are moving beyond your screen limits, the scrollbar doesn't updates.
-The cursor resets to 0 when scrolling (Will be optimized next time for sure)
-Quite some glitches/bugs I suppose.

Further implementations: ( When Santa delivers me a piece of hardware to develop )
-FAT implementation so SRAM will be chucked out.
-Config file to save where you left
-Config file to store costum grafitti's
-Basic improvements in grafitti: 'wizard' modus that makes the grafitti adept to your writing style.
(The more you practice the 'wizard' the accurate your writing becomes)

About the DSe Notepad.

Switch Screen:
The X button allows you to switch the text to the lower screen so you can set your cursor somewhere in the text.
Press X to switch your screen again.

Breakpoints:
Breakpoints (that's what I call it) are markings in the text ,like a cursor (but red), that select an amount of text.
Press once to add the first breakpoint, press Y again to add the last breakpoint and press again to unselect.
Once an area of text is marked with these breakpoints you can copy/cut it.

About the Input:
Input can be done both ways.
a) The keyboard

it loads up perfect for me on my supercard minisd...

but i dislike the fact that the write box is for 1 letter only... i was hoping it'd be like the pictochat, where i could write a full word and save it..

also the save function doesn't work.. the only functions that work are the new page, go back to previous file, and the credits button....

it's useless for me if it doesn't save.
