Hi, does anyone know if it would be possible to run Verge on Windows Mobile? Or if it would be feasible to modify the source to allow for such a thing? It would be cool if we could use Verge to make games for PDAs and other Windows based mobile devices...

Well... there are PDAs that run in 320x200 and 320x240, right?

What are the common proc-speeds and RAM in WinCE PDAs these days?

(I'm like totally out of the tech race in handhelds these days. I'm still sporting my Platinum Visor...)

Most PDAs and smart mobile devices run 320x240 as their native resolution these days. The proc speeds of the last generation of PDA devices ranged from around 300-400mhz, but upcoming devices go up to 500. RAM wise, they range from anywhere from 64-128ish mb.

I'm not very familiar with the actual structure of Verge, or its methods of rendering. Does it use DirectX or DirectDraw for rendering? I know that Windows Mobile 2003 has a variant of dx8 implemented into it...

Anyways, I'm just wondering if Verge requires any libraries or external resources that might only be available to PCs. I am also wondering how much flexibility there is in terms of input; I know that a lot of modern devices are coming equiped with qwerty keyboards built in, but am hoping that I might be able to implement input through the directional keypads and basic input keys included on most handheld devices.

I would just try working all this stuff out on my own, but my current device is broke, and I am waiting for a new device slated for release in the next few weeks to start testing things out...

You're a programmer, then?
