Agenda

SDL Development
1

Does anyone know if SDL will work on the Agenda (Linux-based PDA)?

I’ve just ordered one of the dev ones, and would like to start "porting"
some of my SDL-based games to it :slight_smile:

Thx!

I just asked around and found the specs on the display is 160 pixels wide
by 240 pixels high, 16 greyshades.

If there IS (or will be) a way to run SDL apps on it, it’d be ultra-kickass
if the library handled the color->greyscale conversion, and could allow
the display to appear sideways. :slight_smile:

All it takes is for one SDL geek (like YOU :slight_smile: to get one and write some
drivers.
Most of the Linux handhelds use the framebuffer device interface, so
that should be no sweat. Audio might be more of a challenge, but that’s
less important.

I’m still interested in porting SDL to the VTech Helio and the
Dreamcast, but I just don’t have time right now. If I do this I’ll be
happy to share some notes on the subject.

FYI, I personally have a burned CDR of Linux for the DC running Quake (from
QuakeForge) with the freeware levels. I forget where I got this from, but for
those interesting in doing any game-related porting to the DC (esp SDL ;), you
may want to keep it in mind that someone out there has already gotten Quake to
run on it. Since Quake’s engine is now open-source, you /should/ be able to
obtain their source and see what they did.

I’m sure a search on Google would turn up some good results.On Tue, 20 Feb 2001, you wrote:
