Yesssss this is right up my alley with my current projects. I'm working through K&R 2nd Ed and making little demo apps with libnds using framebuffer manipulation for graphics along the way. My goal is to eventually end up with a useful 15bit sprite-ing application, and an endless scrolling handwriting journal thingy with bookmarks. Thank You for posting this! I'm loading this onto my DSi XL right now.

The Nintendo DS (lite or XL) is probably the greatest portable gaming system to ever exist.

The scripting language looks like it would be more cumbersome to use than C.

Are you kidding me? This is awesome! I imagine I can try it on my modded 2DS using the DSi emulator

Are {,3}DSs easily hackable? Is it just running software from disk or is the whole firmware replaceable? I love the form factor, would be fun to have one as a home automation remote.

I love the form factor of the Switch also. I wish Nintendo hardware was more hackable.
