I just realized that a DS has the exact same resolution as Scratch, an want to make a DS game. Ideas?

Build A Lot, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Rayman The Great Escape

The first one is probably the only one possible

how would you make a ds game? the ds has two screens. scratch has one.

Yeah, I just thought of that. I was thinking you could alternate between them.

Yes, It is a fantastic Idea but very hard, Having attempted Making Games in the Nintendo DS Platforms it is not as easy as Scratch! So then, To start off with in my opinion I would get a stable Platform of the Game, Meaning you should attempt to build the menu and navigation first... Of course the DS and the DSi have both two different screens so you will need to make two different types of games and stitch them together to make one! This may sound weird but try to make a interactive movie menu type of thing and find the code for that... Only I would keep it as simple as possible if I were you! Oh, and this might seem weird but you cannot do it in Scratch! It is all about using Code and Program Languages. To start off with I would create it in a different kind of Computing programming software, Have a look at Unity to start of with but you will have to pay or wait till a free download day comes along it will eventually! What you need to do is find out the behind the scenes code for Scratch and then Convert it into an Nintendo DS Format, Which I cannot Give you, Yet... Sorry about that, Anyway I hope that helps out at least 1%! big_smile

I can make it in Scratch.

I'm not making Scratch for DS, I'm make a game from the DS in Scratch.

That is correct, But you will have to find out the hidden code for Scratch then and convert it into something compatible for DS... Although of course as I stated in my last post you can do it in Scratch but what I meant is you can not Upload it do a DS Platform from Scratch if you know what I mean... wink

He doesn't need to upload it to a DS platform...

Sorry, You are getting me confused now but when I said, You will need to Upload it to a DS Platform I Meant you will need to put it on a DS Game cartridge unless you are using an Nintendo DSi or 3DS, If you are then I officially Give up trying to tell you how to do it... yikes
