Re: [pygame] pygame on android first impressions

[James Paige <Bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been playing with the pygame subset for android on a Motorola 
Xoom tablet. it is faster than most phones, but I did notice that the 
slowest stuff seemed to be graphics. Have you tested a pygame program 
with a very low screen resolution like 320x240? I would be curious how 
it runs on your phone.

I tried to do profiling on my Android device. The cProfile module didn't 
work, but the profile module did, unfortunately it is so much slower 
than the cProfile module, so it was difficult to test with on the 
Android device.
