I actually code for a living so I'm curious to play around with writing stuff on the DS. Anybody know the necessary tools to get started? What language people are using, what kind of OS is on the DS, do I need a BSP (board support package), etc?

I found a tutorial website if anyone is interested, haven't read it all but what I have looks pretty good:

*Skips past WifiME stuff*

Gives a good outline to programming, and names a few programs, didn't really mention anything I havn't heard of , but is definetly useful for people looking to start programming for the DS.

thanks for the link. I can definitely use this whenever I get more time. I've taken C++ and Java courses.. as i'm actually going to be a video game designer later in life as well.. so this will give me a headstart :)

tic tac toe, great idea for a first project :)
I was also thinking of something like minesweeper but since touchscreen only has one "mouse button" i'm not sure how to implement flagging a bomb vs. opening the square using touch.

I only know how to program in Java but I might try DS as it would be pretty cool and give me something to brag about.
