Port request: Armagetron!


Given the control pad of the Nokia 770 and Nokia N800, I think Armagetron Advanced would be a fantastic game. It is currently available for Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, and Windows. A maemo port would require stripping of many of the 3D components to save CPU power and optimization for the Nokia Internet Tablet's graphics, but controls can be simple.


Check out this video that I made some time ago. It's Armagetron running on an Origami UMPC

Im working on a similar game, but with my own game engine.

The engine it self already runs on the 770 at a decent speed. Now I must implement its playability.

I will try to make it on this easter long weekend.

as promissed:

Im working Tirelessly to get this to at least match armagetron visual style and frenzy-filled gameplay. On the gameplay departament, its already like it (at least for me, a casual Armagetron player).

If you provide me feedback , it would be a lot easier...

I also have already some debs. If you have guts enough to test , I can send it to you. (please notice the debs are not that new and its is currently kind of slow: 2/3 fps)

I have a new blog now. While most of the discussion about development will continue on corporatedrones.wordpress.com, the releases, just like the game you requested quite sometime ago, called Angstron, will be available on http://batterypoweredgames.blogspot.com.

Can you please update your posts?
Thanks
