Dreamcast Port

Post by Playadcs »

Is it possible that Oolite could be ported to the Sega Dreamcast ?.

The specs of the machine would suggest an ideal platform for a version of Oolite.

The Sega Dreamcast has many open source dev tools, linux, open GL etc.

And most importantly, a large and thriving community which includes devvers,supporters and players. That is to say, a sizeable potential market for the game.

Regards, Plaiedeseas.

If you're putting your hand up, here is what you need to do to get started:

1. Get linux running.
2. Ensure OpenGL works.
3. Get a version of GCC going that supports Obj-C.
4. Build GNUstep.

If you get that far, the rest should be easy.
