A weather station that allows you to see the current weather situation on a map. Weather information is uploaded to the server via Wifi The Weather Channel. To run the application, it must be close to an Access Point. This was submitted to the Dev-fr Coding Compo 2007 (Applications, 1st place). ==Features== * View the weather forecast for the next 5 days in any major city in Europe. * 2 Zoom modes on the map. * Update the weather forecast with a Wifi access point. * Search for cities by countries. * Help screen. * Metric system and English units. ==Installation== Download and extract file. [[DLDI|DLDI]] patch .nds file and copy it along with the file cities.dat to the root directory of the card. ==User guide== Can access a detailed weather forecast and a forecast of 5 days for more than 40,000 cities around the world in three ways: * Click on the position of the city on the map if it is a European city. * Select the city in a list sorted by country (2280 European cities). * Enter the region code directly (over 40,000 cities worldwide). For example, CAXX0126 is the code for Edmonton in Canada. You can find it on [http://www.weather.com The Weather Channel]. The newsletter is displayed on the top screen, the download time is 1 to 3 seconds. For weather information from all cities shown on the map, press X. The download takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute. You will see the temperatures and icons on the map for all cities. ==Controls== A - Types of information (cities/icons/temperature) displayed on the map (A for download, if not press X) B - Select city or in a list of cities by country, or by entering the code X - Switch between metric units and English units Y - Help and credits Select - Selects current city as favorite city (stored on linker) Start - Bring up on the top screen of the weather favorite city L/R - Zoom out/in X - Move map Stylus - Selects city on map/list ==Compatibility== The program does not work on an emulator because needs Wifi, therefore only test hardware. ==Changelog== '''Version 0.5''' * Bugfix: pressing Y for help made the program freeze. It is now corrected. * Updating data with button X was no longer necessary as data is automatically downloaded when switching for the first time between names/icons/temperatures with button A. So, this function has been disabled. * Button X is now used to switch between metric units and english units. Yes, you american people (and others), you can now have temperatures in Fahrenheit, distances in miles, speeds in mph, etc. * To accentuate the look of a weather channel, scrolling news headlines are displayed at the bottom of the lower screen. These headlines are live RSS streams coming from various sources: BBC.co.uk, Meteo-world.com, GameSpot.com, PAlib.info, etc. A total of 10 RSS streams are available, but other will be added. You can switch RSS streams by pressing with the stylus on the scrolling headlines. '''Version 0.4''' * Addition of Central Europe, Eastern Europe and North Africa countries. * More than 3300 cities in the included database (and always more than 40000 cities available by code). * More cities displayed on the world map. * Faster world map display, now at 60 FPS. * And last but not least, faster download time of weather information: a cache is now used on a server, with a duration of one hour. So, the download time of weather data for all the cities is now of 1 minute if the data are not cached, else it's only about 2 seconds. ==External links== * Author's website - http://stravingo.over-blog.fr/categorie-10114095.html * Dev-fr - http://www.dev-fr.org/index.php/topic,1055.0.html [[Category:Dev-fr Coding Compo 2007]]
