Re: [pygame] GP2X Game Comp

ooh.  Nice one.  I think Pete has one of those phones too.

I've got a gp2x, and managed to get fairly respectable frame rates on
it.  I haven't got a tv cable for it yet.  But it can hook up to your
tv too.

I ported solarwolf to the gp2x and it ran fine on the little gizmo.

ps.  if there's any nokia specific things you want included in
pygame... let me know!  I've added a couple of gp2x specific things in
for pygame (just keys at this point).  However I hope to get control
for a few other parts in there too eventually.  Like hardware scaling
etc.


Cheers!

Hrm, I recently acquired a Nokia 770. It has a *slightly* higher resolution
(800x480) but otherwise has very similar specs. Eerily similar, in fact. Hrm.

I've not had a chance to do much except "import pygame" and test opening a
window:

Anyway, stand by for a completely different announcement...
