Screen Scrolling
Levels can now be bigger than the screen. Allowing for more possible designs of levels. Old level size is 16x12 tiles, new design is
50x20. It could be bigger, but i dont want it to be so big it makes levels too hard. This should be enough.
Level Storage
I redesigned levels were stored how to try and Reduce the memory needed for them.
Sounds
I added some sound effects, currently using maxmod, all sound effects are me being an idiot in a mic No Music tho: /
Demonstrations
Demos are now in the options and are not played during The Game. So if you dont know how to play

Wiz-Mancala v1.1.1 Released |
posted by brakken
11-02-2009 |
|
ZX-81 has released a game (for a change) for the WiZ. It's called Mancala and can be compared to chess with the complexity of the game. The game description has rules follow.
Quote:
Mancala is a board game familly, originated in East Africa. The word "Mancala" came from arabic word "naqalah" that means literaly "To move". Dingux-Mancala is the "Awari" variant, and even if the rule of this game is simple, the complexity can be compared to chess Game.
The AI is based on the source code of H. Huseby & G.T. Lines, for their implementation of the classical Minimax algorithm.
The touch screen is supported, and there is a two players mode.
Awari is played on a board where each player owns 6 pits. In the initial position, all pits are filled with four stones, thus the initial position has 48 stones.
The player to move chooses one of its own, nonempty pits and removes all stones from the pit. The player then sows the stones, counterclockwise, over the remaining pits.
If the last stone is sown into an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones after sowing, the stones are captured.
In this case, if the second last pit is also an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones, they are captured as well, and this process is repeated clockwise, until the own pit, or an enemy pit containing less than 2 or more than 3 stones is reached.
The player who captures most stones, wins the game. The game end when a player cannot move, however, to avoid such a situation early in the game, it is not allowed to do a move that leaves the opponent without countermove, unless all moves eradicate the opponent.

bricks wanted? |
posted by djdynamite123
11-02-2009 |
|
Team Twiizer member bushing has posted another article at hackmii, since the article is short, I will post it all here.
Quote:
To continue with the theme of my last post on updates and bricking:
I don’t have an actual explanation for any of the 4.2 bricking, and I suspect Nintendo doesn’t really, either — I don’t think they keep a copy of the NAND keys for each device, and I doubt they have any readily-available way of retrieving them. As a matter of personal curiosity, I would be interested in doing a post-mortem on such a Wii myself.
If you have a bricked Wii that fulfills the following requirements:- Worked just fine before the 4.2 update
- Is now unusable after the 4.2 update (black screen, error message from system menu, etc)
- Has an old, vulnerable boot1 (such that BootMii/boot2 could be installed), or
- Has a known set of keys (either from a BootMii NAND backup or running xyzzy at some point in the past)
- Did not have anything too odd done to the system menu or boot IOS (but I’m a bit flexible on this point)
… please let me know. I would be interested in getting a dump of the NAND from the system so I can figure out exactly what caused it to die — if you already had such a dump (and the keys), that would be great, but if I not I could dump it myself (again, assuming you have the keys or it’s old enough that I could install BootMii/boot2 with a flash programmer.)

- Configurable
What's New?
Changes since 46b:
* Support for direct launching of games from fat
(Useful for game channel launching, using loadstructor or similar tool)
To specify direct loading from fat, the parameter has to be in form: #GAMEID-X
Where X is 0-3 for wbfs and 4-9 for fat partitions (4 means first fat partition)
* Automatically switch to ios222 in case ios249 is used for starting games from fat
* Only allow IOS 222 and 223 in game options if fat partition is selected
* Improved drawing speed in some coverflow gui modes
* Cleanups
Changes since 45:
cfg v46b (beta)
* Added option: partition = [WBFS1], ..., WBFS4, FAT1, ..., FAT9, ask
* Saving global settings will also save current selected partition
* Increased fat cache size in IOS module
* Load FAT module in IOS early in case config has:
ios=222-mload (or ios=223-mload) and partition=FAT*
So that IOS does not need to be reloaded another time before
starting the game from a FAT partition
* Added indication in global options if [FAT] module is loaded in IOS
* Cleanups
cfg v46a2 (alpha2)
* Faster loading of game list from a fat partition - should be instant now.
The only thing that has a slight delay is showing the hdd free space
in console mode game list (if it is enabled)
* Create game info file after installing on a FAT partition named:
usb:/wbfs/GAMEID_TITLE.txt This makes it easier to tell the titles
of installed games when using a filesystem explorer
* Rephrased the warning message when no WBFS partition found
* Allow to select partition if no wbfs partition is found and disable_format is on.
* Minor cleanups in partition selection
cfg v46a (alpha)
* Loading games from a FAT32 partitions. The game file has to
be located and named like this: usb:/wbfs/GAMEID.wbfs

µSync 0.1 Released |
posted by djdynamite123
11-02-2009 |
|
SquidMan has released µSync 0.1 a small, lightweight mutex/synchronization library written in C. It is meant to be as small and fast as possible. It is used in LibELM for reentrancy support, but was released as a separate library, as it may have other uses.
What's new?- Fixed a fatal flaw in uSyncRelease that set the data to NULL if we are holding the data.

LibELM to 1.3 Final Released |
posted by djdynamite123
11-02-2009 |
|
SquidMan, yellow.wood.goblin, and Normmatt released LibELM 1.3 the True Final.
LibElm is a FAT driver, like libfat. However, LibELM is based on the amazing ELM FAT driver by ChaN. LibELM now has a devoptab so now you can use stdio functions (fopen, fread, etc.)! You can still use the old functions, although some names have changed. The original style is here: http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html
LibELM is Wii only, at the moment, and supports SD card, USB stick, and should support SDGecko, but SDGecko has not been tested.
What's new?- Reentrancy support using µSync.
- Fixed directory listing.
- Cache for increased speeds.
- Changed drive names. libFAT styled now (sd:/, usb:/, gca:/, and gcb:/)
- Cleaner code.
- Start of DS code.
- Updated demo to take advantage of new features.
