Also, someone took my port request to heart and adapted their own developing technology to making a 3D tron clone for Maemo! It looks like angsTRON powered by BZK is rapidly progressing from "concept" to "alpha." I hope this momentum continues.Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I hope Nokia's product team reads along.
The best part about being a "features and hacks" blogger (as opposed to being a "news" blogger) is that I consider the news sites to all be my friends and not my competition. That said, one of my "blog friends" will be the host of my N800 for a couple weeks for evaluation. I'm going to ship it out this weekend. I know how detailed they go into their articles, so I'll be sure to link to it as soon as it is posted.

BZK is the name of the game engine ;-)
I guess tomorrow I will have a alpha for you. Right now Im working on the models collision (remember: GL is not very suitable for the 770/N800 , so my game engine does everything by itself - I wrote the 3D render from scratch and there some stuff incomplete yet).
Im also working on the IA, it is somewhat dumb right now. I must play armagetron to get a notion on how its IA works...
Im also thinking about the progression of the game.
Maybe 20 levels. the first starts on a head to head and each level adds a new bike on the arena. maybe some power-ups (Im heavily influenced by N-Gage's Snakes ;-) love that game. It has simple yet great graphics )
one important question: my Maemo SDK is still mistral. I could sucessfuly run mistral-generated code on scirocco but I haven't tested on gregalle yet. do you know if there is good compatibility between Bora and Mistral?
here is it!
the first alpha:

(source code included!)
I think you will be somewhat disappointed...who knows...

So what are you going to do with those data from your survey?
I know I'm a bit biased ("a bit"! LOL), being an ex-newtoneer an'all, but I was rather glad to see I'm not the only one finding the N800's HWR "wanting" (to use a polite term).
