good idea
maybe we could ask the developer to include the one game with accelerometer support..

Brain Party relies on SDL, SDL Mixer, SDL TTF, SDL Image, SDL GFX and OpenGL.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Hey!
That sounds cool! I'm the developer, and I'd be happy to release the extra accelerometer game, but it's currently in Objective C - it would take 10 minutes or so for someone to convert it to C++.
Two questions:
- Why would OpenGL take some work? I haven't coded for Maemo before, but the SDK seems to say that OpenGL ES is supported just fine. And there's QGLWidget, if Qt is acceptable.
- There's quite a difference in screen resolutions: Brain Party is 320x480, whereas the N900 is 480x800 - you could fit Brain Party about 2.5 times onto the N900's screen! Is there a standard solution for that? If not, a simple fix might be to set the GL viewport to be 320x480 (essentially making it upscale everything 1.5x, giving 480x720), then add a fixed 80-pixel bar across the bottom with the Brain Party logo. It'd be a bit blurry, mind you.
I might ask Nokia to send me a Maemo to try out for development; it would certainly make it easier for me to help you if you have trouble porting.

Thanks for joining our community!
We thought first, that your game requires OpenGL, not OpenGL ES. Because the N900 supports OpenGL ES only. There are so many cool open source games out there but many require OpenGL. Now you understand it better, why Flandry said it would be some work.

Hey!
Yes, it's OpenGL ES - and the GL parts are almost totally encapsulated, so any changes that need to be made should take only a few minutes.

Hi Paul, welcome to maemo.org. Thanks for joining us. I think you'll find a really good reception for your game here. You are welcome to distribute the accelerometer game through the maemo.org nonfree repo as shareware or make the whole thing available in the free repo if you don't mind releasing the source for that game: whichever you prefer.
If it's already using OpenGL ES then that's awesome. If you need help with anything maemo-specific let me know.

for example the phone app is using it.
