So, the first round is basicly over… I’ve actually taken a few entries after I said it was closed, so there are 4 “finalists” now. It’s still not technically too late, though when I get the second round out, it will be too late.
Right now, I’m busy preparing the second round in what little spare time I have; When I do get it done, it’ll be a multi-page PDF file (probably 15 to 20 pages) covering a wide array of subjects. The deadline for submission will probably be about a month after I release it. Anyone of course will be welcome to take the “exam”, and I’ll release the answers after all the finalists turn their solutions in.
I haven’t sent out the emails regarding how well people have done in the first round yet, it’s something I’ll get to before I release the second round, but I make no guarantees as to exactly when. Not that I’ve forgotten or anything :)
One more thing: I invite you to Nominate your favorite NDS/GBA homebrew for the 2006 NDS Homebrewcast homebrew awards (forum.gbadev.org), which is being put on by an aspiring podcast called (unsurprisingly) the NDS Homebrewcast (homebrewcast.com).
That’s all for today, I’ll post more updates when things happen, of course.

“Anyone of course will be welcome to take the “exam”, and I’ll release the answers after all the finalists turn their solutions in.”
So you mean everyone, be it new, or those who didn’t make round 1, can take on the “exam”?

gamergirl: Cool, thanks.
Wildex999: Yes, but you have a lot more factors against you if you’re not a finalist.

Well, then it’s just to wait and see if a mail drops by =]

I’m interested in this. I would like to learn anything you can teach me about Nintendo DS development. I have a dual BS in Math and Computer Science from a state college. I’m currently working toward an MS in computer science.
I don’t really know what you are looking for here so feel free to email me any questions.

Hi Stephen
Any chance you can mail me the first (and eventually the second) test.
Missed this the first time round [doh] and have plenty of work to contend with so possibly not a good candidate for an apprentice. Still, tests are nice :D
All the best.
