Apparently it's not a port, but a fully coded original homebrew.

 

[Blah]

Stratagus has Starcraft support...

BTW, I don't think this belongs in "Emulation", "Cool Ideas and Other Wishes" would be more fitting.

Very interesting, and it would be nice if a GP2X version will be made in the future.

I agree with Blah though, this is the wrong forum to post this.

Pulled from the site, the only thing im not sure about is Lua (all i know about it, is thats its a scripting language), the other im pretty sure all the others could be ported.

Installation instructions for Stratagus 2.1
Software Requirements

* A supported operating system: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, possibly any other Unix/POSIX OS.
* SDL (required).
* libpng (required).
* zlib (required).
* Lua 5.0.2 (required).
* libogg/libvorbis (recommended).
* libmikmod (recommended).
* libbzip2 (optional).

Hardware Requirements

* Processor: A 300 MHz CPU (faster recommended).
NOTE: Stratagus is believed to be endian and word size safe, so other architectures like (big endian) PPC or (64bit) Alpha should also work at least with Linux.
* Memory: 64 MB of RAM.
* Video Card: Any graphics card that can handle 16 bpp and 640x480 is supported. (Use of OpenGL requires a 32MB Card)
* Sound Card: Optional.

Stratagus would be a great port to the GP2X (if it is indeed capable). Would be awesome on the F200.


Just tried out the DS homebrew game in the 1st post, and as I expected it's no where near finished. I can't imagine it being completed by the end of this year.

Even the modification done to Stratagus for starcraft isnt complete. Seems active though.

Well Stratagus would be great for the homebrew games alone

I remember another StarCraft remake (for the PSP) also programmed in LUA. These projects have the curse of always dying early. The work needed to finish such a game is simply beyond the means of a few individuals, no matter how talented. I can't say I never fantasized about such a project though... I wonder if they'll manage to slip under Blizzard's radar.

That's funny, because Starcraft only required a 90MHz CPU (if not less) and 8-bit graphics.

Starcraft was written in C by professionals, Stratagus & Stargus were written in LUA by amateurs...
