First of all, thanks for the latest release. Plays like it was made for the IT :)

About those pauses. I have a N810 and get those as well. It freezes for
several seconds whenever there's enemy contact or the last one dies
in a sector. Is that normal/unavoidable?

I tried debugging it, but ran into another problem. There doesn't seem to
be a way to return to the game, once you've been to the desktop. Xterm
reports it's still running, there's just no sign of it in the task bar or in the
list of running apps. Anyway, maemo is very responsive during those short
freezes, so it seems high load is not an issue.

Developer mentioned about unnecessary loops/cycles in game code, i think they are related to those pauses where the clock icon stays on for a long time. You get those sometimes when you miss few clicks selecting a player etc. Hopefully they can be fixed in later versions. But with 770 you get some loading pauses in menus etc. Those are pretty annoying, but you just have to wait for those to end. About the task switching, sdl apps don't seem to have icons on task menu so there's no way to return to them i guess. You just have to use kill/killall from the terminal to kill them.

I'm on N800 so no keyboard. Is there away to avoid using an external keyboard. I had to plug in my usb kbd to pass the beginning of the game. And is there anything useful with a right click? USB mouse doesn't work, so can't test it.

I haven't upgraded yet because it's working really well for me now. If I upgrade, do I loose my xkbd functionality? I use the xkbd alot in ja2.

You can still use xkbd, but it now blocks the view with 800x480 resolution. But there's now a small gap in the right lower corner that could be used for xkbd, but it would probably require a new layout. I can compile a 640x480 version too if you want. If you made changes to the layout, just copy it somewhere, upgrade and then copy it back. Right click is a must in my opinion so it's well worth the upgrade.

It does work but you need to flick it down from the letters like your writing a comma.

Nobody told me that the german version works so I haven't updated it. I'll compile a new german version tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
