Great work! I was thinking of doing the port myself, but you seem to have beaten me to it :) I'm afraid there's still some work to be done, however. Frets on Fire uses OpenGL graphics, while in Maemo 5 we only have OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0. The graphics code in the game will therefore have to be mostly rewritten to use the more limited set of features available in OpenGL ES. The graphics complexity will probably also need to be tuned down to get decent performance. I'm not sure why the Fremantle SDK ships with the desktop OpenGL libraries in the first place, though. - Sami _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
