About / Welcome

I now have a nintendo DS and built a devkit to run my own (homebrew) programs on it. In this blog, you'll find the progress of my projects, including a revival of Bilou's Adventure game, and its companion editors. But i still have much to learn. Check out the FAQ to learn more about it.

somewhere, on planet Earth, there's a weird guy named Sylvain (aka. PypeBros) who loves to write programs and draw comics with a blue ball named "bilou". That's me. If you have a blog that talks about similar stuff, just leave me a comment.

Congratulations !

You, brave reader, have reached the end of the page. You deserve some goodies, like the last few foreign blog entries I've read and enjoyed, or a sneak peak at the latest comments.

Still wondering Who is Bilou ? What are you doing here ? For how long ? What are the plans ? Why on DS ? ... this and more answered in the FAQ.

If not, did you know there's also a collection of pages presenting other's homebrew I liked ? And another one discussing the games of my childhood .... or games I practiced in general ? Or maybe you're curious about my past experiences on C64 or DOS game development.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll log you again pretty soon ^_^. Meanwhile, feel free to check out the tagtionary.

Oh, and I owe you the translation of some post. Feel free to point out which one you'd love to read with a comment.
Oh, and if that still isn't enough, you're welcome to follow me on Mastodon ;)

Been Watching ...

Google Reader is no more. No such things like "good reads" to be found anymore. But you may get a try to my game design or coding music youtube playlists.
