Can you guide him in the right direction by digging through the earth to collect the gems and nuggets of gold? Work out your path carefully as you push rocks out of the way or you could find Dan caught in one of the many traps.

As you dig deeper and deeper through the 100 caves, you will uncover secret gems buried in the earth, unravel the mysteries of the wormholes which transport you around the level, blow holes in walls with the abandoned barrels full of TNT and collect pickaxes to release gems that are trapped in rock.

3D Instagram A case for a Nintendo 3DS App

Recently I worked on an article for another website:  

3Dwiggle.com

They have software that lets you change 3D pictures and make them into wiggle GIFs. These animated GIFs give the illusion of 3D by wiggling .  

See examples below:

 

This 3D GIF is from the Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land .

This 3D GIF is from the Nintendo 3DS game Animal Crossing New Leaf

This 3D photo was taken via Nintendo 3DS at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History

 

This article is about the popular application Instagram and I make the case for a Nintendo 3DS application. Here is a small sample from the blog post: 

Currently, Instagram is not an available for download for the Nintendo 3DS at the Nintendo e-shop. There is a possibility of accessing Instagram via the Nintendo 3DS built-in web browser, but the experience is far from ideal. I believe this is a huge missed opportunity both for Nintendo and Instagram. It’s a missed opportunity for fans of stereoscopic 3D photography and within this blog post I will discuss the possibility of Instagram for the Nintendo 3DS.
