FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

minetest is apperintly avalible for the dsi on an app called petit computer.this port im working on will be in 2d.however,dscraft is a game like minetest.but it doesn't have monster's or animal's and smealum isn't planning any updates.but there are mod's and texturepack's.if you seem to like dscraft please comment.and i would like to see some screen-shot's of your stuff and world's.

There is no Minetest for DSi, however, DSCraft is homebrew and runs on the Nintendo DS; I've never had it work for me.

DSCraft works for me; but it doesn't have any survival aspect (no pickaxes and all), and of course, no support for mods...
But if you just like building, that might fit, but it isn't as comfortable as a good computer with a mouse and keyboard :-D

Oh, also, beware, it's .rar...

ya i allready knew about dscraft but did you know im using my dsi for all of my new topics?

Do you have any flashcard ?
You need one of them to play homebrew like DSCraft.

Also I don't know how you're using the DSi to browse the web.
For me it takes like 1 minute to load any page, and it often crashes once the page is loaded...

EDIT:
About porting minetest to DSi, there were some topics on the irrlicht forums about running irrlicht on the DS... but I can't find them back.

But last post is from 2009...

do you mean like an sd card?

hey guys i found this dsiware called petit computer it's a basic coding application where you can creat your own basic games and you can scan qr codes so you can play other people's basic games.you can find petit computer on your dsi shop.
but beware it cost s 800 dsi points.
:)

hey guys if you have petit computer you have got to check out this game
well here is the link
http://www.petitcomputer.wikia.com
note,this is my very first link i have ever posted online

Mod edit: the forms automatically adds these on links.

oh and and if you allready have petit computer please check out minecraft ds.last version added sun and clouds,slimes.the update before that added a steve hand.the main programer is IamAperson from nintendo life's petit computer qr code sharing thread.but,I commented to say you can try to port minetest on petit computer

ok,its been a while but thats not what I commented to say.I found out that nintendo made somthing called the nintendo 2DS.its not a joke!at first I thought that it was just somones idea,unill I found it on a toys r us magizen.sorry my grammer is pittiful though.but the 2DS costs $130 .00.so that's a good price.but it doesn't have 3D in it.and the shape is funny.I want it for christmas.

There is something called an Edit button.

forum or petit computer @hoodedice

is anyone exited for christmas,I am

I am what humans call the Grunge. I steal Christmas.


Oh, and spoiler:


Santa does not exist.

ok guys today im working on a 2d version of minetest on ptc,oh ya and ptc stands for petit computer but thats anouther story so far I have made (1.working menu. 2.a blue sky)
sorry but thats all,this is gonna take a tone of ptc qr codes :D

I wish had that app. But it cost to use.

Maybe someday.

hey,it only costs like 800 dsi points,but im warning you.it isnt what you think.its used in BASIC programing,if you dont know any BASIC then ill get you started. lesson,1.print lets you print letters.it is a verty simple command,here is how to use it.
1.print "hello world
2.wait 200
3.cls
there are 2 more commands you need to know,wait and cls.cls clears the text you print and wait makes the consol wait,using 60 after wait will make it wait for a secont.

ok guy's it's getting much better!
here is all of what it has (now)

1,advanced menu

2,moving (using the bgofs command)

3,bottom screen button's

4,upgraded sky now with night cycle

that's all (im still working on placing&breaking block's)
I hope you like it when it's finished!!! but ive not only working on this but also 2d minecraft!!
alot of you are probibly like this...
8D｜that right there is an emoticon

this topic has been dead for a while so people please comment on what you think.I feel left out when my topics get lack of interest. :(

Hopeless idea because even MT has a required minimal processor speed and memory.
The DSi is made for 8-bit-color games, nothing for a compact game like MT.

Yeah... you're not going to have much luck running MT on a 133 MHz ARM CPU and 16 MB of RAM (the 3DS has 128MB of RAM, which still isn't enough). Even my Pandora (600 MHz ARM CPU and 256(?) MB of RAM) has a hard time with it. I suppose you could implement your own form of virtual memory, but it would be very, very, very slow.

ok im re-coding minetest 2d and now calling it "mine blocks ds"
and I finally got my flashcart. if your flashcart says "? menu" then you didn't install it correctly. you need the files from the folder you downloaded on the root of it. Btw,
I got the r4i sd-hc 3ds rts.anyways, see ya!
