There's a bunch of programs people have made, from auto-calculating character sheets to simulated dice rollers to monster creation and initiative trackers.
I came up with this idea a few weeks ago, yet, it's been about 9 years since I last programmed anything; leaving me with barely anything to remember. I still haven't decided whether I want to brush up on my programming and try to make it myself or let it be an idea that stays in my head.
Before I let it die, or make the project an exorbitant amount of time, I was going to see if anyone was interested in helping me with this project. Basically, if there is a programmer who is familiar (or willing to get familiar) with the Nintendo DS who likes the idea of what I'm proposing, it might be a project that could be done much faster than if I tried it on my own.
The Idea: Create an NDS character sheet. By using the NDS one can take advantage of multiple things it has to offer. The double screen. The touch screen. The quick note taking without the use of paper. The very small size (say goodbye laptop, especially for those of you like me who has a 17" widescreen laptop that it's battery died a while ago, so it only can be used plugged in).
I don't expect anyone to want to jump on this, but I figured a shot in the dark was better than nothing at all. If you're interested in helping programming it, please contact me via email (sphyre_san atyahoo. com ) or AIM (Sphyre Kun).
An aside, if anyone else knows of any NDS homebrew that would be useful at the 4e table, feel free to post it here too, as it could become a useful resource.
