Introduction

Harry always hated math. Now he has to do his taxes. He can&rsquote;t afford a tax management program, because he is bankrupt. Lucky Harry. He soon finds out about TipMe, although nobody knows how, and quickly installs it into his DS. He can now happily understand why he is is so much debt.

Installing the Application

Enough with the cheesy introduction. To install TipMe, you must first have downloaded the TipMe library. Once you have set up your environment, you can link the library with your WinDS application loader. Include the file “App_TipMe.h” in your program, and declare a new “appTipMe” variable. After that, simply run the “Install” method of “appTipMe”. Here is an example “apploader” file.

// TipMe AppLoader
// Installs custom WinDS applications

#include <winsapi.h>
#include <App_TipMe.h>

const appTipMe AppTipMe;

void InstallApps()
{
AppTipMe.Install();
};

Running the Application

Running the application is even easier than installing it. Once you have your WinDS binary compiled, run it on an emulator or on the Nintendo DS hardware. Once you get to the desktop, double-click on the TipMe icon. A window with many confusing boxes should pop up. This is the TipMe window.

Using TipMe

The purpose of TipMe is to provide a simple interface to calculating taxes and tips. To calculate the total tip, simply enter in the tip percentage and the total cost, and press the button labeled, “Calculate.” The total cost should now appear in the third box. This is the same when calculating other values, except the inputs and output are different.
