http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojnjRhYR ... re=related Seems like it would be possible, But you might have Super lag. On my psp my internet speed is not the quickest its not slow either but when you are playing bz it would be different.blast wrote:I recall hearing that the iPod Touch (or at least the iPhone) has OpenGL ES. Someone(tm) would just have to port it over, which should be possible.

The issue would not be internet speed, so long as you had a LAN connection to a fast enough internet connection, you wouldn't see much difference in speed as from your computer. The issue is the hardware.ducktape wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojnjRhYR ... re=related Seems like it would be possible, But you might have Super lag.

It makes no sense to play on such a small device... even on a eeepc with 7" display the radar is so small that you can barely see whats going on. Still it would be awesome to have bzadmin for iphone/ipod touch which should be fairly easy to code up.

I don't believe the PSP and DS have released (free) SDKs. Without an SDK, it is very hard/impossible to port and application to a given platform.ducktape wrote:Not only BZAdmin for the ipod touch or ipod phone. But for PSP and DS aswell

I haven't tried the iPhone SDK, since I don't have an Intel mac. Does it have a cross-compiling kit where you could just run the regular build system and get bzadmin running on the device? Or would it actually have to be ported.
On my Nokia, it was just a matter of compiling it inside a Scratchbox target from their SDK, and copying the binary over. I could then run bzadmin inside the terminal, after I installed the curses runtime library.

A G5 is a PowerPC-Mac and not Intel based. Google a bit about Apple's Intel switch.

I wouldn't look for bzadmin to run directly on iTouch. I'd look for a ssh client to login to linux ( or other ) machine to run bzadmin on. I used to do this all the time from my Palm Treo.
Hey guys...I did some research and Open GL is supported and 3d hardware acceleration. only on iPhone as i know of...Heres my proof...in this youtube video link...a apple SDK manager has created a game called touch fighter....its cool so check it out...mention at 24 seconds of the clip he says it supports Open Gl and some other stuff which I know bzflag requires to be playable...now all we need is a SDK kit which is for free which they currently have a beta version...available and it does not require a intel mac. But in other cases.... just want to confirm that it does support Open GL...

Re: Ipod touch
The only issues with this approach are that 1) it requires a server to act as a middleman, and 2) there can potentially be issues with the additional latency. If a native client can be created to run directly on the device, I think it would be more efficient than using an indirect approach.junker wrote:I wouldn't look for bzadmin to run directly on iTouch.

I agree with junker. There's a great ssh client called PuTTY that you can use. One version is called Portable PuTTY and another, pocketPuTTY. Portable PuTTY works on iPods (so it says) and I've used pocketPuTTY to do Verilog simulations on linux machines from my windows mobile phone. It actually works surprisingly well, assuming you have a linux box setup somewhere. It's especially nice if you, say, need to make a last minute change to your code as you sit in lecture and then resubmit it...or maybe transfer that homework assignment you forgot that's sitting on your computer in your dorm to another computer, so you can actually print it out and hand it in on time....I've never done stuff like that

You can't run Portable PuTTY on your iPod, only from your iPod. In other words, using your iPod as an external hard drive on a Windows machine. PuTTY is for Windows.Mets wrote:I agree with junker.
