Make a game for Nintendo DS

You want to make a game for Nintendo DS but you couldn’t be able to achieve all the material to start seriously? If the answer is yes, this is the site for you. Patater (real name Jaede Almero) put a complete tutorial about devkitARM (an set of tools which is part of devkitPRO and it’s based on libnds) which guides you into your first game making experience for the little protable consile. It starts from informations about running homebrew software, explaining how the games market work and teaching how to put code to build a sample videogame.

Newbies are warned: although it’s a basic tutorial it requires some knowlege on:

• how Nintendo DS works (a good series of preparatory tutorials can be found on Devscene);
• C++ or C (you can find some good books about or you can search for free manuals and tutorials, as instance Beej’s Guide to C Programming);
• Object-oriented programming (the best concised guide is available on Sun’s website).

If you’re supposed to know all of those, then what are you waiting for? Get into NintendoDS programming and show the world your talent!

Collaboration

I’m searching for design, interaction and visual communication students to exchange informations about workshops and exhibitions which take place in their universities. That’s a project related to the editorial unit of Weme, the blog of the Visual and multimedia communications programme (clasVEM) at the University of architecture of Venice (IUAV).
