[Portrequest] Return to the roots (Settlers 2)

[thatgui]

Hi there,


as my experiments with the original Settlers 2 (via qemu) aren't that promising, i thought maybe someone would give it a try, and to port "Return to the roots" - a reimplentation of the original Settlers 2 engine (original data files are needed to use it).


The basic requirements for porting are met (the source is available, and there is a linux build) but they rely on Open GL, so I can't tell wether it would be hard or a walk in the park to port this.


Maybe someone needs a last minute (/month) idea for the competition ?


PS: How about a Portrequest subsection like on the gp32x.de - boards ?

That is a complex project and at a glance it looks like it's a lot of gl code all around it;


I hope someone is up to the challenge, I still play it a lot, and on the go would be very nice.
