If your solutions will allow someone to port a game like Armagetron Advanced without much effort, then that is what I'm looking for. If this means rewriting the game / application, then that's not what I'm asking for. A good way to know if your solution is what I'm looking for is to take the Debian Lenny source code of Armagetron Advanced ( http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/armagetronad) and make a Qt / Imagination wrapper for it, then compile it to run on Fremantle. If this takes a very long time, then this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that would be a drop-in replacement for the OpenGL libraries for games like Quake2 or SDL games like Armagetron. You may think, "these aren't important, they're only games," but I would disagree. And I'm not even a gamer. -- enthusiast, n.
