I've decided to GPL the code earlier. It is available at http://slypstreem.com.

Here is what I wrote to Josiah:

Just save it somewhere (on your device or in linux or maybe even Windows), then run

tar -zxvf slypcode.tar.gz

If you then go into quanta/slyp there will be ./slyp.exe which you can run. It's rather simple. The source code is slyp.cpp and there are two files "world.qnt" and "display.qnt" that define what is displayed.

In quanta/quanta there is a file qtest.exe which you can run with ./qtest.exe < tmptst.qnt or ./qtest.exe <tests.qnt. The latter one is some regression tests.
tmptst.qnt is what I use for debugging. More on the format of these later, but you might be able to figure it out.

If you have gcc installed on your tablet (and maybe g++) and make then you should be able to just run "make" in either folder and have it build. You also need to have openGL, sdl, and openGL-dev, sdl-dev, and possible others installed. If you have a problem building, please let me know. If you try to run make and it says something like "device out of space" there is an easy fix.

----
To avoid more delays I have gone back to a slightly older version of the code that will build and run.

Here are some things that need to be done:

Look in slyp.cpp; near the top is a switch statement that attaches the engine to OpenGL. It would be a great help if someone could add a few commands to the switch statement that will call cairo, pango, and glu. I suggest adding just enough commands to will allow basic usage so that improvements will be easier. When that is stable then new ones can be added with more confidence.

This will also be a good introduction to how the thing works. Don't expect too much just yet!
