Oh hi there and welcome to the forums!

i'm working on an allegro->sdl interface

ill let u know when im done

Why do I even have to explain the number? Is my word not good enough?

OT, here's a guy who points out compiling C++ to Java byte-code as an option. (from this thread.) I personally don't know enough about the underlying platforms to know the feasibility of this - I remember Thomas mentioning a wrapper at one point. I had a chance to play with an Android phone and the apps I was using functioned just like a good iPhone app made with allegro.

I'm looking at getting the Thunderbolt because my BlackBerry is quickly turning into a dinosaur. And, to be honest, I'd like "could have allegro programs on it" to be one of the selling points.

See now that's what I'm talking about.

So it's possible? Sweet.

C++ is the new Assembly. Ah, the future... Before long maybe Java will be considered low-level

When there is an AI reading our minds and producing all the needed software automatically, programming as whole will be considered low level & assembly will be studied by historians.

Append:
We'll have some good laugh when these humanitarians will try studying it

Append1:

Under humanitarian subjects I mean all those which aren't Math, Physics, Chemistry, CS, etc';
humanitarians are those occupy in'em.

P.S:
Is that definition existent in English?

I'm still stuck with a Android 2.1 phone... It's only since 2.3 that you can make whole apps in c++ trough the NDK ._.

I don't see much reason to port it. The Android SDK is actually really good for games. It provides everything from drawing to sound and input handling. I don't know about 3D stuff though...
It's written in Java, but until the (whole) NDK is widely available and supported, it's a moot point anyway.

I don't have any particular need for these ports however, I'll commit $100 to any effort with respect to broadening the appeal of Allegro. Does the core group have a donation page?

Not only the processing power makes the difference between desktop and mobile games. things like screen-resolution or interaction (touchscreen vs. mouse+keyboard) are equally important. I've yet to see a good game that can be played interchangeable on Desktop PCs and mobile devices (apart from very simple games). IMHO they are just too different to make portability worthwhile. Regarding iOS and Android, you have a point though.
