Hello everyone.

First of all thank you very much for all your hard work on this amazing game so far.

I know there is an iphone port coming soon, so maybe I should wait on that before sugesting this but here goes..

I just got an n900 phone from nokia, it runs maemo 5 which has a linux core very similar to debian. I know myself and others would love to see this game on this device (wormux already beat you :-p)

I guess my questions are can this game compile on the ARM chip? And then we would need to make sure that it installs to the /opt directory.

Hi there!

I think noone of the developers currently possess a N900, otherwise we would probably already have a port.

If it compiles on ARM - I don't know (but I'm pessimistic) but you could try (also you can provide custom install locations if compiling works, you could even install it in your home folder)

ps: an old version of Wormux (http://www.wormux.org) has been recently ported to the N900 (youtube vid on main side, download in download section)

Alright I'm going to dive into this even though I switched out of com sci and have very little linux experience.

First step I need to get free pascal working. It appears somone has done so already but they didn't make an app for it Sad Smiley They seem to have installed lazarus ide, which I don't think I'll need if I'm only going to compile. I will try and tackle this over a free weekend. Hopefully it will compile and I can put a bin up and then someone can show me how to specify the install directory.
