I have recently been working on a little program to generate a Mandelbrot fractal on the DS. I have a had a measure of success but I wanted to zoom into an area of the screen which I have still not been able to do!

Below is an image of the fractal generated on the DS:-

I was spending too much time trying to calculate how to zoom into the fractal, I did figure out how to zoom into the fractal, but could not re-position it in the center of the screen.

I would be interested if anyone could shed any light on the subject! I created the project using DevKitPro and the Libnds library.

I have currently been working on doing a conversion of the classic Vic 20 game blitz. The game will not be identical and I may choose to use some fresh ideas.

I am going to work on a few classic games, notably Panic, Donkey Kong, Frogger and Galaxians. I am going to write an original game of Tron, just sketching ideas at the moment.

The Nintendo is a great platform for creating games and has much more grunt with it's dedicated hardward than writing for the Palm Pilot. I have created some basic templates to speed up game development and will be posting these on the site shortly.

I am using two libraries to program in currently, the amazing LIBNDS and PALIB.

I have finally started writing software for the Nintendo DS. I am already 60% of the way from converting my palm version of Matrix Nine (A Suduko Like Game) to the DS

Here are some early screen shots below:-
