In this Wii programming tutorial we will quickly cover how we can utilise arrays for holding information about games like in card games or other games were the positions of objects remains static. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-7
An array as you should know can hold multiple elements. By utilising these elements we can arrange them however we like. For example, if we were to do a tic tac toe game, we know there are 9 cells in 3 x 3. We can declare an array with 8 elements and set all those elements to 0 as shown below.

A quick update for the Homebrew Browser, one to fix the delete corruption bug and to add a Popular category which lists the applications by popularity. I haven’t gotten around to adding the update all button or the installed applications button, but they will be there on the next update.

In this Wii programming tutorial we will cover displaying an image as the mouse cursor and how to detect button clicking. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-6.
Firstly download this tutorial6-image which will contain the required files to get us started. This zip file also contains the JPEG code required to display images which you should have learnt about in the last tutorial. Extract this zip file in C:\devkitPro\examples\gamecube and open up tutorial6.pnproj.
As you should recall, we displayed a cursor which we could control on the gamecube by using the following code:

This fifth Wii programming tutorial will cover how to display JPEG images. As usual, I’m assuming you’ve read all the other tutorials. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-5
Firstly download this tutorial5-blank which will contain the required files to get us started. Extract this zip file in C:\devkitPro\examples\gamecube. Open up tutorial5.pnproj and then click on main.c to show the source code.
Included in the download are two files, one called picture.s and a JPEG picture. The picture.s file defines all our variables for the picture and the link to the picture itself. If you open the image file “about.jpg” you’ll see the image with a black background. It’s important to remember that JPEGs aren’t transparent like PNGs are.

This update should make loading the Homebrew Browser a better experience as you’ll no longer have to wait for it to download all the images when first run. The IR cursor being fixed should also make things a bit better as well.
The fix for the IR cursor was quite simple. I was using ir.sx and sy before as I thought that it would have been better as these co-ordinates are smoothed but it turns out that using ir.x and y work just as well and I believe have fixed the IR cursor correction problem.
