Does Qualcomm give the source for this to show how they wrote this? GlSurfaceView ( GL 1.1. from Android Java ) is way to slow to write something like this. The 1.6 NDK lets you link against OpenGLES 1.1 in native code now, but the example presented there ( San Angeles…a 3D city of some sort ) still uses a stubbed out GLSurfaceView with everything else on the native side….still seems to be much slower than Armadillo Roll and Neocore from Qualcomm.

The Game runs fine on my Samsung Galaxy but without Sound.
Great game nevertheless!

Yes, yes, chip is capable.
But more interesting is the fact that this game is one big JNI lib linked *dynamically* to Android’s OpenGL – something that is not available to ordinary developers. We must use Java and suffer GC hiccups and JNI slowness. And I doubt that one can create something close to this game using official tools.

So has anyone tried this on a G1? Is it even playable at all?
