fat32/ntfs is mounted. The naming of the usb/ntfs is changed too now. You can
only see if it is ntfs or fat by the color of the device icon now (orange fat32,
blue ntfs) or in the Partition Formatter. Multiple partitions support on
SD/GCSDA/GCSDB wasn't added but is easy to add if anyone requests it. Otherwise
i don't see a point in it. Also ntfs on SD is mounted too (wonder if someone
actually got that).

partition on SD/USB/GCSDA/GCSDB to FAT32. You can also switch the Active flag
between the partitions.

Avoidance 1.1

by ThatOtherPerson
Just use the wiimote D-pad to move around the screen and avoid coming in contact with the red blocks for as long as you can to set a new high score.

ThatOtherPerson's Notes
=======================
I added support for nunchuck and classic controllers, added music (GET OUT OF MY ROOM!! by VideoJames), modified your motion blur/trail to not show your black outline and improved the games performance. I decreased the movement speeds per frame but with the higher frame rate I think it still works out to being a slightly faster game then it was previously. Its still manageable though especially if you play using an analog stick and the real difficulty still comes more from the crazy number of things on screen to avoid and less from how quickly they move at you. Your score increases faster now also.

Hypno Blast 0.1

by ThatOtherDev
Hypnotize yourselves!

Creator's Notes
===============
Its always nice to go start something new, simple and a little bit weird to remind yourself why developing things is fun.

Hypno Blast is basically an on rails shooter but admittedly that was an afterthought. The visuals came first and what minimal gameplay there is was added to try and justify the little demos existence. Right now you just click on the purple circles to make them disappear but later I’ll add a scoring system along with a lose (and possibly a win) scenario.

Gravity Glide 1.1

by ThatOtherPerson
Gravity Glide is a toy that lets you play with momentum.

ThatOtherPerson's Notes
=======================
Here is an update to something that I’m not particularly sure anyone ever cared for. Its a toy and not a game.

I added “multiplayer” support so you can now use 4 wiimotes at a time. I added background music (White Cube Art Noise by essesq). Increased the number of gliders to 1000. Made them bounce when they hit the borders. I even improved performance.
