A game for the Nintendo DS that has the player make paths between countries on the world map. Uses a graph of countries and breadth first search (BFS).
Inspired by Travle by Oisin Carroll.
Thanks to larsenml for help fixing bugs in the early stages of development.
- At the beginning of a round, you are assigned a starting country and a destination country.
- Hit "B" to check your assignment and your current path at any time.
- Use the D-pad to navigate the alphabetically organized pages of countries.
- Use "A" to select a country and add it to the path.
- You need to add the starting country to your path, and remember the ending country when you are done.
- Hit "Y" at any time to see the countries which border
the most recently added country.
- Eg. if you just selected USA, you would get a list with Canada and Mexico.
On a Linux system (tested on Arch), you can build and play the game by running these commands:
cd assets
./convert.sh
cd ..
make
desmume worldpath.nds- C programming language
- GNU compiler collection
- LibNDS and NightFoxLib for interfacing with the Nintendo DS

- Countries of the world graph and basic game logic working.
- Implemented as text based game with visuals (dots on the map).
