# About Woopsi - History

Woopsi came about because, when I started development, there were no actively developed GUI libraries available for the Nintendo DS. I was working on an AmigaGuide reader for the DS, when I realised that I was going to need some way of creating buttons, handling button presses, and scrolling buttons around within the text. I also needed a file requester and various other GUI features.

As I was already writing an Amiga-related piece of software, developing an Amiga-themed GUI library seemed like a good idea.
