[openttd-devel] Porting to BeOS

[Cian D. <duf...@ei...>]

Hi,

*alcoholics anonymous mode*

My name is Cian and I'm a TTD Addict

*end mode*

I play TTD slightly too much, and keep FreeDOS installed solely for it. 
I don't use Windows and it doesn't work in DOSBox. So I'm looking into 
porting OpenTTD to BeOS R5.

However, I'd be interested in knowing how complete the Linux port is 
first, and wheter is uses X11 (as the sourceforge site suggests) for 
video, or SDL. BeOS has both but SDL is a lot more native. I'd also 
like to know wheter the sound works on the Linux port, and again, if 
its ALSA or SDL. I don't have a DOS supported soundcard so this isn't 
an issue to me, as I never hear the sound, but others might expect it.

I also don't own the Windows TTD - do you have to use its grf/cat files 
or can you use the DOS ones=3F I'm on 56K so downloading it will be 
painful. Download Subversion was painful enough as it was, and its only 
7MB :-)
