This is a recreation of the famous Killer Whale Cursor flash app for the Nintendo Switch, made using only Devkitpro and a couple of libraries.

However, this particular recreation contains a couple of extra enhancements and features compared to the original:

  • Use of motion tracking with the right joy-con and/or touch input to make the Killer Whale follow the cursor.
  • Ability to reset cursor position by pressing Y.
  • Ability to toggle between a front and rear view of the whale (basically changing the draw order) by pressing X.
  • Toggle on-screen text for full screen visibility by pressing B.
  • Customize motion sensitivity, whale movement speed, and "flexibility" (how fast the individual segments follow eachother).
  • Customizable whale diffuse color, as well as background color.

Installation

Just drop the NRO onto the microSD card in the /switch/ folder, and run from the NSP version of HBL.

Run this through the NSP version of HBL; launching via Album has some graphical issues due to constraints (SXOS does not have this problem).

Controls

Y - Reset cursor position

X - Toggle between front/back view

B - Show/Hide on-screen text

D-Pad/Joysticks - Change values
