It's quite a fun game and inspiringly "different". Myabe worth porting to Maemo?
Spent an evening hacking around on this. Turns out liballegro is ~not~ easy to build. I got the minimal libraries built, but then ran into segfaults on the device.

So i talked to the allegro experts and they really need someone to help port/test liballegro 4.9 to various ARM devices.

So please feel free to volunteer - http://alleg.sourceforge.net/

Angband - a turn-based rogue-like game.

Current source available from http://rephial.org.

Interface is available for curses, gtk2, SDL, and X11. Debian repos have ARM compilations, so I think should be mainly Hildonization needed. SDL has sounds with it - which would be a bonus, although I think the sound files themselves need to be downloaded separately from the source (but are available from rephial as well).

I like to see the python game, pysol, ported to the tablets. It has over two-hundred solitaire games plus a sound server for music. If looking for something to remove from the code, I suggest dropping the sound server.

It would be great to have a good Texas Hold'em simulator on my 770's. One that would play tournaments, with opponents with various playing styles.

I think allegro 4.2.x should work on ARM devices. I built 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 some time ago and it worked fine except for 8-bit video modes (they had distortion because of improper alignment) and could not set fullscreen video mode. These problems have been fixed already. Unless they broke something recently, it should be fine.

I'm not very familiar with debian packaging, so I'm not sure if I will be able to do '-dev' package right. Anyway, I have added a support request in order not to forget about it (and add something to the tracker): https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...d=128&atid=542

Any RTS....preferiably one of the original C&C games.
C&C original only needed a 486 and MSDos v5! Surely the N800 is powerful enough for this to run in DOSBox?

Settlers 2 would also go well but it needs a little more power to run.

Anyone got a direct comparason with processors for the N800? (aka. N800 => pentium 50Mhz, or N800 => 486 )

Since no one can help me in the thread for it, I suppose I'll ask here.

I will PAY for someone to make a .deb of OpenTTD that will install on my N800.
