Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
A developer created a scriptable 3D game engine for the Nintendo DS that allows users to write and run games directly on the console. The system features a touch-based code editor on the bottom screen and real-time 3D rendering on the top screen, compiled into a ~100KB .nds ROM that runs at 60 FPS. It includes a working 3D pong game as the default script and was inspired by nostalgic memories of programming on TI-82 graphing calculators.
