Community TODO and known issues:
  • Test that it meets the QA requirements and report. Please consider testing this version so the keyboard layout fixes can get into Extras.
  • There's a known bug with media player and games that have sound. Don't play music with media player while playing uqm.
  • Joydev kernel module package and improved Accelemymote accelerometer-joystick driver to make accelerometer control a user-friendly option
  • Any others?

Proposed Enhancements
(UQM Alterations Under Consideration)

These are potential changes that would make UQM behave differently than Starcon 2. In other words, attempted improvements: a task not to be undertaken lightly.

Because these are generally changes not welcome in the main upsteam project, most of them will only happen if there is significant interest by users. If you have a new improvement or like one of these, speak up!
  • Lander report font color blue=>green: improves visibility on small screen. (ArnimS) [Implemented]:
  • Accelerometer control: use tilt as a joystick. (Flandry) [Partially implemented]
  • Fast orbit: skips final approach for planets with no moons or ships in orbit. (Flandry) [Proposed]
  • Handbrake mode: default action for lander is go; "back" stops. (OVK) [Proposed]
  • Matrix mode: reduced combat speed. (Flandry, ArnimS) [Proposed]
  • Adaptive difficulty: AI gets easier as you lose. (ArnimS) [Proposed]
  • Starmap mouse support: pan and select autopilot destinations with the touchscreen. (Flandry) [Proposed]
  • Maemo-specific names: change ship and person names to Maemo-related values. E.g. N900 ship, Captain Maemo. (Flandry) [Proposed]

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Accelemymote: make your accelerometer more joy-ful
