I am thinking of porting a commercial grade game over to the n900 and i am trying to find the best route to get the game on the n900 and other platforms. The n900 being the target platform.
So, one option is to find a game or graphics engine that would work with the n900, android and other mobile platforms (like android and symbian ^3)

The other option is to port and expand my current engine to the QT platform with OpenGL ES 2.0 or to SDL with OPenGL ES 2.0 (currently it is SDL ,sdl_ttf,sdl_image,sdl_mixer with opengl (fix function pipeline) about a 3 to 5 month task

Engine needs to support
2D
sprites
animations
partials
camera
collision detection would be nice
support for loading png as textures
Vector Math lib
Loading scene from file

i does not matter if it is a paid for ( not over $150) or free engine.


Does any now of a engine that might meet my needs?

Pygame works very well,
or you might look at the Sio2 interactive which the football frenzy and basketball frenzy games are written in.

yeah that engine does look really good but not sure if it is over kill. It looks like i mite be expensive and still in beta. I am not sure what it all platforms it supports besides the n900.
definitely one to look into.

@mikec how easy is it to port c# to python (pygame) (don't have any experience with python)
