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)

Re: BZFlag?
 

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?

Re: BZFlag?
 

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.

Ooops wrong thread - sorry about that - feel free to delete these two posts from me.

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

You can do that.

Re: BZFlag?
 

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

Re: BZFlag?
 

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

Re: BZFlag?
 

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.)

Re: BZFlag?
 

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 :))

Re: BZFlag?
 

It sure does. :D

Steering via the N900's accelerometer earns extra credit.
