Anyone feels like porting the 2D shooter Chromium BSU to Maemo?
 

It's a fantastic opensource shoot them up, I would love to see it on the N900 :)

wow, that looks pretty nice right there :P ... i was thinking it would be another crappy graphics game like most you see in the N900, i have the feeling that most of the game don't show the true power of the N900, this would certanley change that. :)

It is certainly a good looking game, as far as I know it's the best looking 2d shoot'em up game for Linux

Frankly, no 2D shoot'em up game is going to "show the true power of the N900". In any case, knocking the existing free options isn't the best way to encourage the (most likely) same people who worked on those to spend more time to try to meet your expectations.

nice, looks like a r-type style game but from top view, i dont think the OP cares if it shows true power of n900 but more about enjoying a good game.

I was quoting rikisky, who convinced me this isn't something to waste my time on. Don't worry though, there are plenty of maintainers with much more tolerance of obnoxious attitudes like his who will probably pick it up and put it out in no time.

Yes Please... I beg of you!

It wasn't risisky asking for the port but me, I love this game and would really enjoy having it on my N900. The original developper has stopping working on the game eon's again but the source is freely available.

I know that it uses SDL and requres OpenGL (or at least MESA).

If anyone feels like giving it a quick try I would be really grateful.
