There's a FUZE4 forum too, and they've announced that they're hosting a Gamejam ending on June 1st: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/2233/fuze-gamejam-36-theme-move

Their forum is also on nodebb which makes it look similar to ours :eyes:

I don't see any networking options, although you can share your code with others. It supports controllers and touch, including oddly enough the IR camera on the joycon. So you could do local co-op, at least. Maybe the limitations there are enforced by Nintendo.

There's a $1 "player" app, so others can use that to play your games without buying FUZE4 itself. Although, it feels like this should be free! That would make it easier to spread games: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fuze-player-switch/

This notification is due to the Switch running out of RAM/memory when loading the page, and also happens on the WiiU and 3DS browsers as well.

On one hand it could be considered a limitation, but since the browser runs as an applet (it's not a full app or game) it only has access to a limited amount of memory in the first place. This is why the browser is able to work while running another game-- it's very light on resources.

We're working on https://chat.browsedns.net/ to address this, but it's not 100% ready yet. The goal is to access the same chat messages as this site but in an easier to use way. I'd appreciate some feedback if anyone tries it out on Switch!

It is proprietary, but the language is similar to python, so most concepts will carry over into other engines.

It reminds me most of using pygame on PC: https://www.patternsgameprog.com/series/discover-python-and-patterns/ with the input loop, game logic and displaying text/graphics

Here's a review from another developer: https://www.g33kchris.net/blog/fuze-4-switch-review

There's an app on the Switch eShop called FUZE4, which lets you write actual code and run it on the switch directly! You can control it with the onscreen keyboard, or plug in a USB one too for faster coding.

eShop page: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fuze4-nintendo-switch-switch/

You can switch really quickly between the code editor and running the code, which is important for iterating and learning.

Also, I can answer any questions if needed about some of the functionality, the coding language is similar to Python but a little simpler (like BASIC).

Try MinUI: https://github.com/shauninman/MinUI/releases

In general, you copy the folders from the zips to the SD card. I don't have a Mini but I do have the Flip and the process looks similar.

The DNS landing page is restored now, and should be working normally again.

Is this still happening? What's the Nintendo site that it's trying to load?

Actually, just tried it on the Switch, and the text area is all wonky. I am interested in finding a better coding editor and providing some web hosting to BDNS users too.

For example, vgmoose.bdns.dev but replacing vgmoose with your browsedns username. Kind of like Tumblr or neocities.

What websites are examples of "this text editor isn't annoying to use" on Switch? And is USB keyboard support good enough, or should it try and support the builtin one?

Also, I haven't tried it, but it's worth mentioning that the game FUZE4 looks like the ideal of "coding games on Switch".

I have an old site at https://vgmoose.dev/GraphCoding/ that lets you write and run javascript in a canvas tag, that works on Switch: random dots example

But it's not full HTML only javascript and canvas commands. The syntax and examples are documented on the Github repo.

You can only softmod a Switch if it's a "v1" (manufactured before August 2018). It can be done without a PC, but will need an Android phone or Chromebook, and a way to get files on the SD card.

If it's not a v1, then there is no way without a hardmod, which can be a difficult or expensive install process.

The landing page (dns.switchbru.com) is down. Monitor the outage at our status page.

Until the issue is fixed, we've switched 45.55.142.122 over to backup page that still allows Internet access. If you just need Google and other sites (aka not the Switchbru landing page itself) this backup page restores that access.

Also, for future reference, the BrowseDNS IPs are on different servers. I recommend trying all 3 IPs when one of them doesn't work:

• 45.55.142.122 (Switchbru DNS)
• 45.55.112.11 (BrowseDNS US)
• 46.101.65.164 (BrowseDNS UK)

Is there a screen protector on it? That could be interfering with the taps if so.

iTunes actually sounds like a pretty good fix. Connecting a USB keyboard to the tablet might be an option too, depending on whether or not you have the right adapters to connect it, and then using that keyboard to enter the code instead.

Try: https://browsedns.net/topic/6438/discross-discord-on-switch-kinda

You will need another device to make your own server on, and integrate the bot with first.

@VGMoose said in Broccolini: Open-source web browser for consoles proof-of-concept:

Recorded a 1 minute video of how the browser behaves right now:

Here's a GIF version of that video, if your device doesn't support video playback (may take like 10 seconds to load): http://vgmoose.bdns.dev/vidtest.gif

Both of these are planned, but not implemented yet. The input methods are: touch screen (or usb mouse), gamepad (or usb keyboard), and simulated joystick cursor (like how the Switch browser does it).

Sure, I've just changed it to gpt-4.1-mini (previously was gpt-3.5-turbo) (yes their naming is terrible).

Yes! There's a tab switcher with animations, and each tab preserves back/forward history. This was an early design goal because I've found tab management to always be a pain point for on-console browsers.

Recorded a 1 minute video of how the browser behaves right now:

When a tab is backgrounded, it takes a screenshot of the current page, and then uses that as a thumbnail for the tab switcher view. Then, when you switch back into a tab, that screenshot is replaced with the actual page again.

The clock in the URL bar also becomes a forward button after you go back, re-using that toolbar space.
