hi,
there is a port of SDL to iphone which hasn't been made public yet
because of the NDA. Actually... SDL was ported separately by at least
6 different developers that I know of. I'm guessing it was ported
maybe 10-50 times total?
Well, anyway... porting pygame to it is the next step. However I
think the iphone puts other legal restrictions in place which make
free software, and open source unable to run on that platform.
The other issue is they ban virtual machines... like python. However
I've heard people have made ports of python anyway.
It's a hostile platform for open source, python and pygame.
So in short... most of the hard work has been done, but I'm not
entirely sure if anyone has done it yet... and even if they did, you
wouldn't be allowed to use it freely.
cheers,
