I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to write the code to put an Exile game on something as small as a PSP. It would be pretty cool. -------------------- "Time line?

Possible, yes. Economically feasible, no. However, as you might have noticed, BoE has recently been released as open source. We may be seeing that ported to a few systems at some point. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

It would be kinda neat, if someone had the skill and the time, to rewrite enough of BoE's code so that it would run on just about anything. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Sure. Aran, you do the Java port, while I'll be working on the Perl port. I can get someone I know to do the Prolog port. -------------------- I locked my keys in the car the other day.

If there's a Java Port, I'll need a copy of the source. On a more related note, Nintendo DS. That's where an Exile or Avernum port should go. -------------------- "I don't understand a word you just said. Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand."

Good. I need a Java port of BoE, cause I don't know crap about any languages other than BASIC and Java. -------------------- "I don't understand a word you just said. Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand." Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

Seriously though, aside from me, who here actually messes with Java?! -------------------- "I don't understand a word you just said. Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand." Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

I do. Besides PHP, it's the only language I know (although I have been picking up Hello-World basics in C++). Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind writing a new game in Java. But I can imagine more fruitful things to do than essentially rewriting a whole program in another language just for kicks. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Heresy. No one uses the vile Java... even though, I'm probably gonna play with it some over the summer cause I'll probly have nothing better to do.
