I could probably port a reasonable game engine based on Quake, but lack of time/money make it impossible and even alone it would take some times. On the other hand, android doesnt make it easy with native code. If I could simply have java for input and all the rest in native code. It could work. Not sure how to port the audio part though.
Anyway, I wouldn't call Game over yet. I could be wrong but I wouldnt buy a smartphone for games. But for pretty much else it can gives. Games consume a lot of battery unlike app for management etc. I guess what's important is to focus on everything Iphone/wp7 will never have with their phone. 2010/8/17 Piotr <[email protected]> > "Windows Phone and XNA.
