So... My kids want me to put some games they're familiar with on my Pandora.


Is there anything stopping the above titles from being ported?
 
SuperTux (there's a SuperTux 2?)


TuxRaxer Beta, but should work. I think there's some graphical glitches still to smooth out.


I could've sworn there was a port of TuxKart, but I can't find it. I'm probably mistaken, since it's still on the Port Requests page.
 
SuperTuxKart is a slideshow due to Irrlicht being kinda picky about video drivers and Extreme Tux Racer needs to be rewritten for OpenGL ES, which doesn't look like a trivial task.
 
SuperTux (there's a SuperTux 2?)

Yes - there is a SuperTux 2 (SuperTux Milestone 2). It's great fun. Think SuperTux only fixed up so it's really arcade quality.


It's in the repository for Ubuntu - I'm sure it's in all of them by now.
 
Porting them from OpenGL to OpenGLES. The more complex the graphical effects (not necessarily the detail of models or environments; mainly things such as lighting, shaders, etc.), the more difficult that will be.

Mmmm... something tells me it won't have that issue.


The above link is to the compiled ARM version for Nokia Maemo Debian derived OS devices. Don't tell me that a 5 year old phone has better graphics support than the Pandora...

Well I'll be damned. Carry on, then.
 
SuperTux 2 was a great success - it was so playable that my 10 year old boys, then I, completed the whole packaged level set and then some on my Pandora.


So - does anyone want to try to get SuperTux Kart working? Has anyone already tried?
 
It uses the irrlicht engine, which was built by sebt3 and produced only unplayable slow results. Then cloudef tweaked it a bit and it ran better but crashed before you can enter a race.


So somebody needs to get the engine running properly first.
