Re: [Super-tux-devel] SuperTux 0.1.2 ported to Zaurus SL-C860

[Dennis W. <den...@vu...>]

Sorry for such a quick follow-up already, but I managed to solve the
OpenGL bugs, together with a more nasty end-of-level bug (finishes level
before the actual end due to Tux's 491 G acceleration instead of 0.03 -
that's what happens if you forget to shift in fixed point
arithmetic ;-)).

The URLs below are still valid and now contain updated versions.
