Plants vs Zombie anyone?
 
Is Plant vs Zombie can be possibly installed on n900?

I'm not sure if it can be ported without breaching licensing issues since you have to purchase the game, but a substitute might be able to be developed instead if a developer wouldn't mind working on one

I thought the game was written in flash. Most pop-cap games are, which is what makes porting them around so easy.

I could be wrong tho.

You are correct. It based on Flash code but you got to remember this, the game is licensed and commercially written with quality control. Therefore porting such code will only creating you problems with the copy righted law (if you the porter) and end up with a lawsuite but the game is a closed source which impossible to port unless you have the source.

The only way is to implementing it from scratch and that takes a lot of efforts.

Don't know if it was written in Flash, but it plays on iPads, which makes me doubt it's the only form that game has.

Ummm... you're probably best off seeing if you can get a Linux-ARM build version of the game from the developers. Like, you should be able to install the desktop version of Osmos if you pay for the desktop version on the N900, assuming they can give you armel binaries as well as x86 ones.

But really, if it would work, it still wouldn't actually be legal to distribute it, I suspect.

Via the Adobe Flash CS5 IDE, you can output your code/application to iPhone. A small tweak, and you're publishing for the iPad as well.

That was what sparked that whole change to the iOS terms of programming that eventually got reversed.

*WAS* first written in flash. But later it is ported to XBOX, DS, iOS in a different form of language. PS. iOS doesn't support flash or flash code. It was rewritten in each OS SDK and API.

iOS doesn't support Flash? Sure about that?

Another alternative if you have Nitdroid,
there's a chinese port of PvZ (it's very similar)
And there's also a copy of PvZ called Leave the Devil Alone or something like that

To be clear guys: It's not that iOS supports Flash literally (unless you jailbreak it and install that experimental Flash hack). It's that the Adobe-provided Flash development program allows you to have your Flash code compiled in a way that will run on the iOS.

If I'm understanding things correctly. (Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.)

That is correct. There is no official Adobe Flash plugin for web browsing, nor Adobe AIR runtime for any iOS device.

What Flash CS5 and Adobe labs Panini and Burrito are doing is basically wrapping ActionScript 3 with an ObjectiveC wrapper that allows it to run.

If you want the correct terms, whatnot, read this.

My old favorite TD game, "desktop tower defense", is quite playable on the n900 (if a little slow). You can find it at

http://www.handdrawngames.com

There are tons of other flash-based TD games out there...
