Title: [squares] - Port of The Squares Do Not Die
Post by: nyanfly on August 14, 2012, 08:32:10 pm

[squares] is a port of TSDND (The Squares Do Not Die) for Lua. It's currently for DS only but will (hopefully) be ported to PC/Wii.
Although this is a work-in-progress, I probably will not be adding very much more to it, apart from a few finishing touches (menus, saving, etc.) and possibly a shop (and maybe multiplayer for the Wii version).

Anyway, please download and test! I'm trying to figure out how compatibility is with different DSes/flash carts.

Controls for DS version:
D-Pad: Move
Touchpad: Shoot
L: Bomb

NOTE: Animations do not work in DeSmuME, but *should* work in NO$GBA. I think.

Moved to Rom Hacking/Console Hombrew. I'll see if I can give it a try on my R4. :)

this looks like a very accurate direct port, and it's pretty fun =D
very large screeny:

Hmm, this got moved...I'm not sure where this is supposed to go, because it's mainly a computer program that just happens to compile for DS currently, so when I get it to work on the PC, should I post another topic there? I'm confused.

Also, I got everything to be platform-independent! :D Now it should be easy to move across platforms.

there isn't really any precedent, so do what you like. it would probably be less confusing to have one thread, though.

Thanks! Just don't expect many updates right now, because school is starting (and I'm just lazy XD).

Just wondering, has anybody had compatibility problems? Because it works fine on my hardware, but apparently not some others...
