Hi all, I found a game, a Kind of "Age Of Empires", named 0 A.D
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D.
The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built game engine.
The game has been in development by Wildfire Games (WFG), a group of volunteer, hobbyist game developers, since 2001. The code and data are available under the GPL license, and the art, sound and documentation are available under CC-BY-SA. In short, we consider 0 A.D. an an educational celebration of game development and ancient history.
Top features - Technical
The engine core is written in C++ for performance, but the scripting language, javascript, is what we try to write as much in as possible.
Rendering: OpenGL with shaders
Libraries used: OpenAL, OpenGL, Boost, Crypto++, CxxTest, DevIL, SDL, SpiderMonkey, Vorbis, wxWidgets, Xerces
Operating Systems:
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, XP64, Vista
Linux (Arch, Chakra, Fedora, Frugalware, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Pardus GNU/Linux, Sabayon, Ubuntu)
Mac OS X (
)
System Requirements
: 1 GHz CPU, modern graphics card (GeForce 3 at minimum), 512 MB RAM
Tools used: Visual Studio, g++, CppDoc, COLLADA, Debugging and Profiling tools included
So the question is:
IS THIS OPEN SOURCE GAME ABLE TO BE PORTED ON THE N900?
If yes, How and If not Why?
I must mention that I have no clues in porting Applications. It's just a request like i did here:

Finally it has been done. Not sure about this game, as I see system requirements. But who knows.
Thanks for everything you do for the forum and have a happy New Year.
