My apologies. I guess I should have erred on the safe side.

One of the planned improvements in scavenger is to make the accelerometer control work properly (it already supports joystick input, it just needs to be fixed up).
No clue about PyRunner vs. scavenger, but PyRunner is pretty rudimentary. It was just easy for me to poke around in PyRunner since there was already a Diablo port & it was Python. Are you considering a Diablo version of scavenger?

Scavenger is not shiny at all but it seems to run well and is, after all, a clone of an '80s game. Oh and hey, it's FOSS.

I have no way to test a diablo build, but i'll try pushing the source to the diablo autobuilder tonight and see what falls out.

Edit: It passed autobuilder. Let me know what's broken about it, please.

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?

Thank you! I installed it fine from Extras-Devel using the Application Manager. The graphics are a little nicer than PyRunner's, actually. The options are a step up as well as PyRunner has no options menu. And Scavenger allows you to map your movement keys, which is crucial to playability. IIRC, the N800 has a D-Pad to the left of the screen, the N810 has a D-Pad to the left of its hardware keyboard, and the N900 has arrow keys on the right side of its keyboard. So comfortable keys for digging might be in a different place for each device!

The main problem I discovered is that, when I run it, no icon is created for the game in the area where icons for running programs are displayed. When I press the swap button to change between apps or view the desktop, the game just disappears and there is no apparent way to switch back to it. I can see it in the list of processes, though (and kill it, so it doesn't just drain down the battery).

But, it didn't set your device on fire, right?






The icon issue is probably just a difference in the location/nature of the desktop file between Diablo and Fremantle. However, the disappearing act i have no ideas. :/ Do you know what key code that button sends? Maybe it's still mapped to something in the game.

I was reading this OpenTTD thread, which apparently is SDL like Scavenger. I saw from the homepage this known "issue":
There are no window-icon when game is running, so you can't activate it aymore if you minimize it.
So it looks like Scavenger is not alone in having this behavior in Diablo! And if javispedro can't fix it, I'd better get used to it.
