    NDS PuzzleManiak

    Heres an entry from the Drunkencoders Comp

    Submitted by: puzzlemaniak
    Description:
    PuzzleManiak is a port of the marvelous Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection on Nintendo DS.
    PuzzleManiak can also be used as an mp3 player.

    * 27 games are available: Tents, Dominosa, Mines, Bridges, Light Up (aka Akari), Pattern (aka Picross), Net (aka Netwalk),
    Untangle (aka Planarity), Sudoku (aka Solo), Galaxies, Slitherlink (aka Loopy), Blackbox, Mastermind (aka Guess), Map, Filling,
    Solitaire (aka Pegs), Sixteen, Fifteen, Slant, Rectangles, Netslide, Samegame, Unequal, Flip, Inertia, Twiddle and Pyramid (adaptation of Cube).
    * Support of graphic themes
    * Daily challenge downloadable via wifi
    * Score submission via wifi
    * Global ranking computed from all scores submitted available on NDS/Website
    * Game translated into 7 languages:
    o English
    o French
    o Italian
    o Spanish
    o Brazilian Portuguese
    o German
    o Dutch
    * MP3 Support (thanks TOM)
    * When the Nintendo DS is closed and an mp3 is playing, pressing buttons ‘L’ / ‘R’ will go to the previous/next song in your mp3 playlist.
    => This feature can be disabled in new ‘options’ screen
    * Past Daily Challenges can be played again and again (without submitting your scores, for sure!)
    * Press ‘Select’ to change screen’s brightness
    * Several players can play the game on the same Nintendo DS => For each one, a profile is stored so that the user keep his settings like language,
    colors, background, mp3 folder, mp3 options (repeat all, repeat one, mp3 path) and so on…
    * The 3 players have their own score file, and a ‘overall local ranking’ is managed, so that you can train yourself against your scores,
    but also against all scores on your NDS.
    * When displaying scores, you can switch between your scores, scores of other players, local overall scores and overall scores downloaded via
    wifi by pressing the Left / Right buttons.
    * DLDI patching is required.
    * PuzzleManiak file and “PZMK” folder must be extracted on your linker root.

    Puzzle Maniak is a decent compilation of games. But IMHO it has no right winning a competition at this stage in it's development.
    Everyone's played it, everyone's seen it pop up on every Homebrew news place every other week.
    It'd be like me entering my Retro Collection.

    Sure, it's good, but it shouldn't be allowed to win.
