BZFlag?
 
It sure would be nice to have BZFlag (http://bzflag.org/) running on the N800. (Would make for a great WLAN-party for N800/N810 owners)

To show how serious I am: I offer a kilogram of Swiss chocolate to anyone who gets bzflag running (to a usable level) on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet! (OS2008)

Any further offers?

Well, thanks for that... I can make it work on my Kubuntu system (netcat -t [host] [port]), but I cannot make it work on the N800 using the equivalent (netcat -T [host] [port]). It just comes back to the command line, after a short delay.

Ralph, would running in a Debian chroot count? I'm betting that's really easy...

You can do that.

Erm, how? Running the bzflag client in a chroot on the n800? How'd that work then?

Bzflag requires opengl and it's not going to work with usable speed.

I see the N900 has OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. Can I have bzflag for that then?

(Hmm, using the N900's accelerometer to steer with would be v. cool too.)

Does the offer for 1kg of good swiss chocolate still holds if the port works on an N900? :)

(no, don't get your hopes up: I don't even own an N900 yet in order to work on the port :))

It sure does. :D

Steering via the N900's accelerometer earns extra credit.

OMG nice bounty. Well bzflag tends not be very complex atleast comparing to something like q3 and such. But I would add a clause that it needs to run in atleast medium quality setting if not high.

Would be nice having it around like that. Though I think there'd be to much latency for it to be really usable.

But being a cop on one of the servers it would atleast make it possible to respond to complaints quickly.

Just a thought, if the port is going to be done do we want to support all network access methods? Is cellular access going to cause a bit too much lag or do people feel that is acceptable?

Re: BZFlag?
 
I'd be for all access methods. Lag will be in all cases more or less un-acceptable for most servers.

Hell even some broadband links cause unacceptable lag.
