I Made a DS Game in 2020

[@Temzy]

I played this on the DS Emulator on phone. That's right lads, full circle.

[@asie]

@@Thornskade that sounds hella cool

[@axolotlgaming7832]

I played it using a DS Emulator on my LG Dual Screen

[@squeenixu]

@@Thornskade @asle sounds Hella slow

[@Thornskade]

@@squeenixu Sure does. In a Twist reveal however it turns out that DeSmuMe is much more efficient than PC emulators to the point that running DS games on an Android emulator on DeSmuMe actually yields better performance. If you have a weaker computer, that's actually the way to go. If you have GPU pass-through on your VM, then it's basically native performance. So in that case, you would still get perfect performance through three 'ceptions, the only slowdown being the last one that is streaming to your phone.

[@superdaviddafighter5652]

Same What emulator did you use I used drastic ds

[@andyknapp]

This is really cool and more accurate than other flappy homebrew I've seen. I guess I can replace flappy bird GBA with this on my DS! Great Video!

[@pangetpampam8272]

The GBA port was pretty accurate, I had that one of my SP for a very long time now

[@robotman5105]

I would definitely watch some ds programming tutorials! Never did I think it was possible to make a game for the ds was possible to even do on your own!

[@ExperiencersInternational]

Yeah I would too, the DS is such an amazing thing to just experiment with, I've personally never programmed a proper game (I guess I've created Roblox games but that doesn't count) before and it would be a cool thing to do.

[@michaelepica3564]

GamersInternational what’s different from roblox and real games

[@alexrawson8492]

@@michaelepica3564 Roblox provides a fairly simple engine that requires using the platform and can undermine the development feel somewhat, but it is surprisingly valid as an engine.

[@michaelepica3564]

Alex Rawson I agree! Roblox is a very capable engine

[@AnnoyedArt1256]

GamersInternational well roblox is based on lua so you knew an actual programming language which is cool

[@DrPeeper]

I am glad you mentioned so much important stuff like library names to the point of this video being able to be used as a basic cheatsheet I also have a DS Lite so I'm gonna try the game as soon as i can

[@WILFORDCLUX]

Yes. Thank you for this video! It's great to get more of a view of how such a process of making a DS game goes. I hope to see more DS stuff on your channel in the future :)

[@PolyMars]

Glad you liked it! I plan on making more DS videos in the next few months :)

[@cashmerrre]

I’m going insane because literally no one is talking about how his voice glitches out for no reason

[@dylster2662]

Maybe your audio output is buggy because it isn't glitching for me

[@Blushfulcorn]

4:41

[@bubberiffic]

I can hear hit it seems like his audio was corrupted in some places or didn't export correctly, you're not going crazy.

[@sjoerteboertekoertekwiet]

I think he slowed some little parts a little bit. Maybe because he was talking to fast

[@Cabesandia]

It was just sped up

[@i386intel3]

Great video dude! It is amazing that you were able to accurately make a port of Flappy Birb! Just a quick heads up, the NDS does not have a floating point unit, so any float operations have to be emulated and as such will tank performance.

[@PolyMars]

Thanks, and thanks for the heads up! Is the best alternative just to use integers on a larger scale?

[@AquaQuokka]

​@@i386intel3Probably because the DS uses ARM architecture, and most ARM processors don't have a FPU by default.

[@Dorbellprod]

This is sick! And I love that there's much more content like this - trying something new.

[@2012TheAndromeda]

The way you explain the code is very easy to follow. I love how you explain what you are wanting to do and literally show the function in the code on how to do it. This will greatly help my own skills in my hobbies! (I do electronics related stuff) Thanks for such an informative and fun video!

[@frannielmartinez]

Can we just get more DS content like this? I would really appreciate it!

[@kellymountain]

I feel like I see the same few people on like 90% of videos I watch

[@TheBattleKing]

This in incredible downloading this right now please make more ds games!!!!!

[@CostSteam02]

helpful video!! a lot of online resources out there for ds développement are very verbose, so id love to see more ds development videos in this style!! keep up the great work!!

[@aprilnya]

0:13 it acts more like the Wave from GeometryDash

[@m23yh]

Yeah lol

[@techscv3]

[@NoNamex1412]

On the 1x speed lo

[@stacklysm]

Yeah, and the level looked like Hungry Humphrey

[@lukethekuya]

[@joshuabaskin4458]

Nice video, installed the DevKitPro today after seeing your post in a GBATemp thread, hope you make more videos about the DS development.

[@TheRanger714]

this is really good you definitely deserve more subscribers

[@krnelpanic_]

This looks really good! From the video it looks exactly the same.

[@PolyMars]

Thanks! My goal was to make it as accurate as possible :)

[@sebastienlorentz5421]

Love you so much, you are the reason i bought a DS and a r4 card, I just have no clue how to start making homebrew and i would love tutorials from you, I’m also having an issue trying to play flappy bird, something about NitroFS Init Error

[@PolyMars]

That's awesome! For the NitroFS error, try running it through HBMenu: github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases And as for tutorials, this thread is somewhat outdated but it's really helpful! gbatemp.net/threads/ds-programming-for-newbies.322106/

[@MilesKeep]

Your channel is amazing.

[@AfaqDraw]

Thank you for making this ahah. Found this on the Homebrew site and imma play this on my DS :D

[@cjr3907]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this, I am very interested in learning how to use devkit pro! i am definitely going to play around with it after watching this vid!

[@NekoiscoolII]

whats missing is the bottom screen, it would be nice if we can see the highscores at the bottom screen and a jump button so it can also be played with a stylus.

[@pare_e]

Omg bro this is sick. Im hyped to play when i get my ds.

[@vriska222]

you should do this with the Nitro SDK (nintendos official DS devolpment kit) now that its leaked

[@Rotem_S]

It might be illegal to publish things made with an illegal software IDK

[@SnowyCocoon]

Your channel is pure gold my friend. Love it!

[@neozipzam7691]

Looks amazing!! I wish I could learn how to code for nds, hope to see more of this stuff.

[@Scriptingzs]

It's fairly simple if you can learn a basic understanding of C/C++. And devkitPro provides a load of example code to make it more user friendly.

[@Gangstalicious]

love the fact that you actually linked the game, thanks man

[@coderkind]

Great job (with the game and the video tutorial)!

[@mariocart2wrholder]

"but does it runs flappy bird" Is that the new doom ?

[@Griffodo]

man you're a legend i'm sure 101% you could make other ds games, i would love if you will remake fnf or don't starve for ds

[@sosnosus513]

Hey, you should add it to the universal updater so everyone with a modded 3ds can play it too

[@WilsTube]

That’s pretty cool! As a fan of DS games, this is excellent!

[@theworldlookswhite]

this is super cool wtf?????? also happy to report it worked on my 3ds and that you can abuse the circle pad to go offscreen at lightning speed

[@thetiredscot7821]

Nice, its good to see you push in a lot of dedication to these videos, the editing is smooth and the amount of effort you put into making what is a port of Flappy Bird is amazing. Perhaps this comment is stereotypical but you deserve more recognition and subscribers. Liked and Subscribed.

The title screen should be the bottom one and when you start the bird should fly to the top screen and show the get ready screen

[@alephcake]

you should have done a small score screen on the touchscreen. like for example current distance, best distance, etc. but it's pretty cool!

I remember playing flappy bird on the ds back in like 2014 with petit computer

[@SawyerIque]

That looks very cool! But it would be even cooler if the source code of the game was in the description, so the scripts can be reused for maybe even another game!

[@bj0urne]

Having made a flappy bird clone myself, I can safely say that the math to calculate physics in this video is over-complex. It's very simple actually.

[@chibidangames]

This reminds me of when someone made Flappy Bird in Petit Computer on DSi.

[@ASCEswagger]

I always wanted to create a DS homebrew game, and this video's really inspiring. I'm wondering, how long did it take you to create this? DS programming tutorials would also be really awesome.

[@PolyMars]

Thanks! It’s hard to remember at this point but I think it took around a week. Setting things up and figuring everything out took the most time, but once you learn how things work the process becomes a lot smoother :)

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

PolyMars any chance this might end up on GitHub? Would like to play with it, but don’t have the time to figure out all the stuff that’s needed te get started.

[@PolyMars]

FuZZbaLLbee I didn’t release the Flappy Bird code since it was my first DS program and is full of bad practices as a result, but I made a much more readable, open-source snake clone for the DS that might help!github.com/PolyMarsDev/Snake-DS

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

PolyMars yes this was what I was looking for. thanks 🙏

very helpful if i want to do a ds game thanks bro

[@haydenamo5552]

I just downloaded the game for my ds lite and dsi and it’s so fun

[@arryfbz4232]

Im aware I am 3 years late but you could possibly use the bottom screen to display current medal and best score so that its not just empty

[@Isaac0-dev]

I would love to see more DS videos.

[@Safoign]

Doesn't work with R4 cartridges :c

[@sophieartemigi]

Would love some DS tutorials omg

[@smealm]

i recomend setting up TWLmenu on your 3ds as it can run the NDS file straight from the sd card, as its a emulator it also runs ANY NDS file and also supports full screen for NDS games that you run with it, so it would be full screen without the black bars on the side of the screen that you get when you play a ds game on a 3ds

[@ZaneGrayMusicMaster1]

I’d love to see a 3d game made for the DS all these years later

[@amongryzh]

0:14 for me it is look like a “wave mode” from Geometry Dash.

[@officialtetronome]

Same(bc in 1.9 it was called the dart)

[@Mutty99]

Interesting. Will try on my R4 later on

[@shroomy__rxcks]

i can't believe that after six years, the game that revives the ds is a port of a simple mobile game.

[@matocarina]

that's totally expected since it's easy and one of the most popular

[@Headshotnoby]

nice! i have also been developing DS games using my own build of MicroLua DS

[@Mehumies12]

You could have the ground texture on the bottom screen and also show the score on the bottom screen.

[@SkadizzleOnYT]

works on my modded dsi, its awesome!

You should have made use of the bottom screen for the score. It’s not necessary, it’s just weird when a game for a console built around 2 screens only uses 1
