I was involved in a project of a game no possible. too late. phone is shipping. lcd is wired up to the glamo. on-chip lcd controller is not connected. fpga's are power hungry. not going to happen on a phone. also tyhe glamo is our interface to the sd-card in the freerunner. > console, with 2D acceleration only, but IMHO simple 3D acceleration > isn't that hard.
