QUAKE III ON MOBILE PHONES, WHY NOT NEXUIZ?

[unic_sorin]

Hi!
First, i want to present you the Symbian OS version of Quake III - Arena

check this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUFF3ctw ... ted&fmt=18

This version was ported to Symbian by Olli Hinkka,
game is only compatible with Texas's OMAP 2420 powered handsets,
Nokia N95 8gb, Nokia N82 and Nokia E90.

It uses the integrated accelerometer and also Bluetooth connection
for multiplayer mode. That means, one phone can be set as server
and maximum 10 phones can connect to it simultaneously.
It uses original .pk3 maps.




DOWNLOAD QUAKE III ARENA MOBILE

DOWNLOAD BLUETOOTH HID SUPPORT PLUGIN

DOWNLOAD SYMBIAN PIPS C-RUNTIME LIBRARY

DOWNLOAD SOURCE CODE (RVCT 2.2 required to compile.)

So, i just ask you all, why not a nexuiz for today's mobile phones?
i think this would pretty awesome,
anyway it remains devs decision.

thanks,

Not interested.

But I am interested in getting Nexuiz to work on Open Pandora Which maybe happen thanks to DSN. DP needs to be tweaked though (opengl es and arm stuff)

[Sven]

uh cool was searching for quake for my ipod touch
nexuiz will be much work (but dsn is good and it supports mac) ,or?

[Mr. Bougo]

Erm, ipod stuff is a whooooooooooole different thing. And unrelated to supporting mac or not.

And devs would have to buy a SDK, and still, it would violate the GPL.

[Sven]

oh ok i am quiet

[FruitieX]

Which maybe happen thanks to DSN.

But the other games run fine with decent quality textures on low end hardware, so why not start by optimizing DP to run a lot faster, which I bet it could.

Oh yeah I know, because there is nobody to do it

www.maemo.org and http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile might be a things to look into in the future.

iphone sdk is free...just saying..

and how would the GPL be violated? just wondered..

[Mr. Bougo]

Didn't know it was free... But that doesn't change this:

well, the most commonly mobile platforms that you can choose are:

java (worst )
Symbian OS
windows mobile
linux mobile
blackberry

if nexuiz supports 3 pc platforms

linux, windows and mac.

why not 3 platforms for mobile version too?
personally i choose symbian, windows mobile and linux..
what do you think?
