SMILEBASIC FOR 3DS

I saw someone post this on another forum and thought some people here might have an interest. I personally don't own a 3DS, but from what I've gathered from the webpage:

- Uses BASIC (or some variant) for programming, using the touchscreen for a keypad.
- Supports the 3DS' touchscreen and 3D capabilities.
- Comes with a good deal of sample graphics and music
- Includes a pixel art editor and music composer (using Music Macro Language)
- Cloud saving for programs
- but sharing seems to be exclusively through posting unique keycodes somewhere on the internet.

For $10 it seems a pretty good deal! Makes me wish I had a 3DS :(
Though, there is a Wii U version in development, which will be cross-compatible with programs from the 3DS version and support USB keyboards.

They are also holding a contest until January 3rd. Seems like there's three categories to enter:
- Ninja
- "Useful Gadgets", or, regular applications like a calculator or something.
- "Open". Literally anything.

e: sorry, this isn't out in Europe yet! (and seems like it won't be for a while...)
That...looks pretty interesting, actually. o.o A coding environment for 3DS, available officially from the eShop? I'm sure it's kinda limited compared to what's possible with a 3DS devkit, but still...could get you started on learning the system's workings. One big problem though, if I'm not mistaken (which could easily be because I've only taken a cursory look around the website), it sounds like all editing has to be done physically on the 3DS. It would be so much more convenient if you could type your programs on a PC and transfer them to your 3DS's memory card. I'm guessing there are security policy reasons why that can't be done. -.-

On topic: This DOES look pretty cool! It gives me hope of being able to make stuff on the 3DS.
