I have a question, it will be supported other languages than compiled binary code?
is possible to include or to add support for languages like perl or python? or maybe java?
or it will be an early hack to do?

and then, somone has thought about some kind of Windowing support? or some kind of shell to configure stuff?

thanks in advance
 
Well, with it being linux, if you want to port perl to the gp2x, it will no doubt run quite happily in the 64mb of available ram.

as for some kind of shell, there will be one apparently, but I'm not sure how accessible it'll be.
 
I'd be very interested in getting/finding out if Python and PyGame will run on the GP2X. Python runs on most every OS, including Linux, and PyGame is built on SDL, which the GP2X supports.

This would be a great win, both for PyGame dev's - having access to a new handheld device, and GP2X devs, having access to an excellent library/framework/language to create new games.

Working on it as we speak :)

Scratch that, we now have SDL_mixer SDL_ttf python 2.4.2 and pygame :)

Hopefully squidge can test it for me soon.

... Wow... I'm speechless.

That's just quite damn amazing.

Do you have a blog/site/email list setup about this effort? I'd be interested in getting involved, or at least hearing about the dev effort...

Thanks for the wonderful news!

For now I've got minimal info on the wiki. I will put more instructions on how to compile your own stuff etc soon.
