[REQUEST] Compiling GemRB to WM - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

GemRB is a reimplementation of the Infinity Engine. For those of you unfamiliar, it is the engine that powered games such as Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, and Icewind Dale. It seems porting is possible, but someone needs to compile it for WM (someone who knows what they are doing). I am posting this in hopes that someone familiar with programing can at least take a look. Also, I will send a donation of $100 to the one who can sucessfully port it over.

Need help makeing 3d ppc game

I AM SICK OF HAVING NO GAMES TO PLAY ON MY $400.00 BRICK OF A PHONE. i AM WOUNDERING HOW TO CREATE SOME 3D GAMES. I NEED HELP IN THE CODING. DONT POINT ME TO SOFTWARE FOR 2D GAMES OR FLASH AND A JAVA. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE.
You need to get a copy of Visual Studio, with a Windows Mobile SDK (google for all this), and then find a learning source for C++ (again, google is your friend).
You'll also need to learn OpenGL, some maths & physics, and think of some games that will work when you can only click one place at a time.
You've got a LOT of work ahead of you.
Good luck.

[REQ] Paradroid for Android

Hi,
Wondering if anybody would be interested to port the great classic game Paradroid to our Android platform. If I would be able, I would do it myself, but without programmer know how ... Good thing is that there is already a Linux version available (incl. source code), so this should not be so difficult or?
http://paradroid.sourceforge.net/
For sure you might play it via Frodo C64, but a standalone app is much better.
Anybody?

I played Paradroid 90 for the Amiga. I would try it if it were available, but not particularly enough to hold my breath for it. I'm not sure if in all of my Amiga emulation if I already have the Amiga version still.

[Q] NX client for Android

Hey everybody! Sorry if this isn't the right section to be posting in. I guess we'll find out -- Here's the deal:
I've been administering a server of mine for quite a while now. I started out with it running windows server 2008. I had an application that I was using to connect to it over remote desktop protocol, and everything was grand. I recently switched over to CentOS, which has been absolutely the right decision. After a while of running it, I found a nice little server that works similarly (better!) to remote desktop connection. It also allows me to connect from more than 2 concurrent sessions (most college students can't even afford 5 CAL's) as well as a host of other configuration options, not to mention excellent compression.
After spending some time looking and searching through the market for an app that would offer me the ability to connect to NX or NoMachine sessions, I came up emptyhanded. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed that the adoption seemed to gravitate toward a windows crowd, which seemed odd to me. Considering android is so deeply rooted in linux and open source development, I thought that there must be a solution.
So rather than go on and on (at least more than I have in this thread!) and complaining, I thought "What a good time to put my education in UNIX, Java, and minimal amounts of C/C++ to work for me!"
This begs the question:
"Who else has, like me, searched endlessly for this functionality only to come up emptyhanded?"
So folks, raise your hands if you're interested in adding this capability to the already long list of enhancements that your android phone has over all the other smartphones.
Also, in case anyone is wondering, while I have posted this in the "Paid software" category, I would be more than happy to make this app available to all of my friends here at XDA, the people who have done so much to keep me educated, up to date, and running the latest and greatest software, completely free of charge. In the market, I would offer a free and donate version as well.
Anyone who has suggestions for features is welcome to post them. I have a few in mind already, but I would love to hear some input from you all.
I would definitely be interested in an NX client for Android, if you think you can come up with one. I've thought to myself that considering there are open source NX clients out there for Windows, Mac and linux platforms, it shouldn't be that terribly difficult to port the code to Android's java; but I don't have the coding abilities to do it. It's definitely one of those apps that you'd think would be out there, but it's not. And although you may not have gotten any other responses on here about it, there's definitely other poeple out there looking for just this kind of app - just do a search on Google for "Android" and "NX" and you get tons of results with people looking for it.
I've been running NX (or FreeNX) on my linux machines for a few years now, and I've got to say the technology is great, and I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more than it has. VNC does allow for similar connections, but the performance and efficiency doesn't even compare. It's my guess though that this is why we haven't seen an NX client on Android yet - the fact that you can use VNC, and those apps already exist. Regardless, if you can come up with the NX client, count me in as interested
Oh Hell yes...
Hello,
I would be definitely interested in a NX client for android, shame I have non-existent Java skills!
Stuart
+1 would love to see this.
Maybe it's possible in the Atrix webtop environment. They already have a citrix client apparently which is pretty cool!
I've been using and loving NX too and would like to see such a client too
I'm up for it (and would pay for it too) - I would recommend a tablet version if you can? I'm using a Honeycomb tablet to make remote connections and VNC is painfully slow over a mobile connection!
i would love to see this done.
I have some lightweight Java skills, but have absolutely no exp on the android sdk and will be completely unreliable as I'm supposed to be studying after work, not developing
but drop me a pm if you get this project started and I'll dabble where & when I can
Add another interested party in an NX client for Android. I've been using VNC for everything remote access for years and years. I discovered NX last week when I needed an alternative in a pinch. And I'm a convert. Whenever it's possible, I'll be using NX instead of VNC. So it would be great to have a client on my EVO 3D.
+1!!!!!
I have desktop effects enabled on my desktop/personal server at home, and vnc cant handle that. I researched for alternatives and I came up with FreeNX, perfect solution, except there is no client for my droid!!! I am on the go alot and I would be MORE than happy to donate some cashola to my bro's at XDA! All of you guys rock, and if this is ever going to get done, it'll be through you guys! Count me in.
+1 interested!
Add me to the list as well. I have used nx servers/clients for 2 years or so. Prior to using the Android, back when Maemo was big on Nokia, I found a ported version of QTNX that worked on ARM architectures. My very round about attempt I thought to try is to test that one in a chrooted Ubuntu in android but never could get it to function. I have mild experience now and am in the middle of coding a few android utilities but would love to contribute to this... have you considered setting up a git repo or google project or is there one started? Also, I'm not sure if this would work but was also looking at their new web-player client option. I wonder if anyone has tested that out..
Count me in, too. My 12 year old C++ skills aren't going to help, but I'd be in for a paid version.
I was about to try and develop an NX client for iPhone when we got a Honeycomb tablet - that seems like a lot better way to spend my time. I am an experienced Java coder but haven't developed for Android before; I would be happy to learn and contribute though!
+1 and here's some help
I would definitely use an Android NX client.
If you choose to do this (and haven't done the grunt work of figuring out how), here are some pointers that (hopefully) will help:
NX is based on X. So you'll need an X server written in Java to port to Android for starters. If you're okay with going the pure OSS route, there's a GPL'd one to start from at jcraft.com / wierdx (Sorry, I'm a newbie here so am not allowed to post a direct link.)
I haven't tried it, but usually starting from *something* is better than starting from *nothing*.
You'll also need a pure-Java SSH client. The above site has one or you could rip the one out of Eclipse. I can vouch that this code is good as it's what's used by Eclipse for its CVS/SSH and GIT/SSH support.
NX also uses the Differential X Protocol Compressor (DXPC) as part of the X protocol acceleration. The X server above claims to support this too, but I can't vouch for how well.
If you do this, I would suggest to consider making it open source at your favorite OSS repo (GitHub is mine), which gives you at least a fighting chance of finding other like-minded developers who can help.
Thanks for considering this. I hope you're successful!
Dave Orme
+1 for help
i am also with Java background but no android background
and i would love to donate from my spare time into making this a working OSS project
let me know if and how i can help if you have already started working on it - i will take a look at the pointers loaded in here and see what i can learn from them.
contact me via PM here
X server and NX
I have been getting into this with a bit more detail and I found out that there is no X server for Android, so what I did is the following (work in progress):
- X2VNC, that is an X server with VNC backend (it gets launched automatically via intents), there is also an intent to invoke the X server. I have compiled it statically, I guess it would be a good point to upload that to the market place.
- Compiled nxproxy which are needed to get the nxclient working
I am working for a company which is using NX as their desktop ttransport method, so no plans for developing the nxclient so far, but happy to assist in providing these two elements, the rest would probably be:
- UI interface (Java probably)
- nxssh (ssh client with modified select).
Let me know if anyone is interested.
Fund it!

The X server for android
I have published the X server for Android. Search for Xvnc or X11 in the android market place.
+1 would pay for this too

I'd happily pay $10 for an NX client for my Galaxy Nexus!

[Q] Making a game/porting it across platforms

Here's a game i'm willing to design from scratch or port it from SEGA to android but the problems i'm facing is that i have no clue, no starting point. I can't seem to know the language it's written in.
Or is there a program/engine through which i can design a game which doesn't require me coding or actually writing down scripts in C++
Any kind of lead would be really appreciated.

[REQ] Port Ace Of Spades FPS(openource and opengl) to android

Another great game i have known for long time and it shouldn't be so hard(maybe). This is its newer client which has made on opengl so it should be ableto done. http://sites.google.com/a/yvt.jp/openspades/
Please tell me if you start this and i would love to see link to thread if someone does this.
