Section One: Introduction **SWAPNOTE_1**
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Welcome to another FAQ of mine. This one covers the Nintendo 3DS application,
Swapnote. Swapnote is an application akin to the Flipnote Studio app on the
Nintendo DSi. In fact, it is basically the same thing, but with more variety
and 3D-ness.
Crappy intro aside, let's get this FAQ on the road.

--------
Start-Up
--------
After using Swapnote for the first time, you'll be asked several settings-based
questions, which you can find in the Settings option of the main menu.
Afterwards, you can tap a note to read it, write a note, or go into the options
menu, more or less.
--------------
Writing a Note
--------------
Initially, you can only use a four-page note with no real special effects. You
can write various things on it, and erase them as needed. As you make more
notes, you'll unlock other features. I'll just mention them all; write more
notes if you haven't gotten them all yet.
Tap the pen icon at the bottom if you want a 3D pen, or to swap to a 2D pen.
You can also choose a 3D eraser, or a 2D eraser. Icons show up marking what
you're using. Next to these is an inkwell - it just marks how much ink you're
able to use.
The block-and-arrow button next to them is more interesting. There, you can
attach Nintendo 3DS photos, recordings (5.00 seconds or under), change
stationery and paper design, assign a date, and just quit making the note.
Photos and recordings, once made available, will cost Play Coins, as will the
stationery, though the stationery will come for free for some, and beyond
that will coin five Play Coins for each new stationery. Stationery applies a
new theme to the background of the note.
Attaching a date allows you to make it look like it was made that day, in the
past, or prevent its opening until a set future date. You can set up to a week
either way, though note that the 3DS date must be set properly for correct
operation.
Other than that, once you've fixed these just-mentioned details, you're ready
to roll. Draw on the four pages with your stylus, using the arrows to switch
pages as needed. Beware the ink you use, and how it counts both 2D and 3D.
Also note that erasing will return ink to your inkwell.
Once you're ready, tap "Save".
-------------------------
Sending & Receiving Notes
-------------------------
In Swapnote, you can get and receive notes through both StreetPass (walking
near a local person's 3DS) and SpotPass (the Internet). They need to be
active before you can use them.
To set a specific note to send - you apparently only are allowed just one -
cycle to that note in the main menu and tap the icon at the top of the Touch
Screen. Choose how to send it and you're ready to go.
With StreetPass, it is mostly just limited to anyone you pass by on your
friend list. They also must have this game amd its StreetPass activated.
With SpotPass, you will pick one specific person on your friend list who you
want to have it. As with StreetPass, they must have the game and the SpotPass
activated.
-------------
Reading Notes
-------------
Tap the note at the main menu to read it. That's pretty much it.
If you want, you can tap the specific page you want to begin at, mark the note
as a favorite (tap the crown), or open the reading menu with the arrow button.
This will let you edit the note (if you wrote it), see who you sent it to via
SpotPass and their friends, save photo attachments, and save Nintendo 3DS Sound
recordings. These latter two options will not be immediately able to be used,
and will be require Play Coins once you can use them.
