Hey do we know who created Light Bikes for the IPhone. It has a very GLtron like feel to it, so much so that i think it might even be a fork. anyway just curious.

p.s. how cool would an iphone port of arma be.

Hello,

I believe the player "voodoo" is creating a armagetron version for the iPhone.

Low FPS has been documented, but he is working that out

Out of curiosity, did you compile it from scrach or is it based off the mac version?

sources for mac are the same than sources for other platforms (note there is only one source package)

Ha ha, let me rephrase. If the iPhone runs OSX ten can it run the mac version.

the iPhone doesn't run OSX, OSX is for intel-64 platforms, iPhone and most iPods are using an ARM processor. Have you seen fancy windows on an iPhone, windows, or even a list of opened screens?

Secondly, the GPU in the iPhone(or in pretty much any other phone) is not as powerful as a desktop graphics processor. It's drivers also only support OpenGL ES, which offer a different/smaller set of instructions compared to OpenGL. The main job is porting it to OpenGL ES, integrating into a cellphone, and fitting in the software distribution model for iPhones.

So my original theory, that the "OSX" on the I phone is hardly the same as the desktop version

I would assume this stuff is what it would be compiled from...

Well, at the core I think it's basically a stripped down normal OS X. The main differences would be in UI and hardware capabilities (mostly performance).
