Adventure Maker

hiya

was checking out this adventure maker like point and click affairs for making psp games it uses web browser to play

was wondering if we could get a web browser running on the gp2x maybe dillo or something how hard will it be?

Dillo is pretty great (and has such a tiny codebase!) but I think almost all current linux web browsers rely on X11 to do the rendering. I'm not aware of any browsers currently do their rendering, for instance, on an SDL surface.

So... we'd need some kind of tiny X11 running, as well. These lightweight X servers do exist, and run on hardware much leaner than the GP2X, but I am not very familiar with them.

If only I weren't so lazy, I might have some links for you, here.

Still, googling for things like "embedded x server" should get you on the road to figuring these things out.

There is always kdrive, a tiny X server with only 2d support.

X is the least of your concerns. You might want to get a working internet connection on your GP2X first.
