Programming a Nintendo DS game and adding Wi-Fi capabilities.
🧠 Concept
I took a course at EPFL that teached students on programming “microprogrammed embedded systems”.
We used the Nintendo DS Lite as the platform to practice and program what we learned.
I decided to build a Tic-Tac-Toe clone on an Nintendo DS and later add Wi-Fi functionalities to enable two player games on two different devices.
Note: I strongly encourage you to look at the GitHub repository of the project if you are interested. The README is very detailed and goes deep into the technicalities.
🏁 Result
Here is a short video demonstrating the resulting game:
The quality of the video is not perfect but we can see the game running correctly.
I start by showcasing the game on a single device and then bring a second Nintendo DS and play using a Wi-Fi connection.
