Wikipedia has gone the GNOME way lately with the “delete everything” mindset.

It’s been sucking so much lately, many things are getting deleted. This isn’t the same Wikipedia I been using back then.

Comment on ioquake3 on the Nokia n900 by budtske

mjordan: Porting this to windows mobile would involve a great deal more effort then porting it to the N900, I’m not that familiar with the N900, but from what I’ve read it seems to support a fairly standard linux environment. While there are lots of changes, the “plumbing” as you might call it, does not differ greatly.

This way, ioquake itself does not need to be heavily modified. making it run on windows mobile would require big changes to ioquake itself, (cpu architecture and the like)

So unless you or someone else want to get cracking and create a Windows mobile IOquake3 port I would not hold my breath

By the way, the HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5) has an AMD Z430 (with a Snapdragon QSD8250 1Ghz) so I’m wondering why no one is interested in porting this game to Windows Mobile.
With its 4.3 inches display should be really a great experience!!!

Nice. Would be nice to see a port for Windows Mobile too.

i say we delete his list of ZX Spectrum games, i mean, who actually used the ZX Spectrum to play games?, Everyone was using the Commodore or Atari computers, and if not that, the Atari or NES

ZX Spectrum
“The ZX Spectrum (Pronounced: “Zed Ecks Spec-trum” in its original British English branding) is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd.”

I didn’t know that even existed. The more you know. I suppose it has historical significance.

so, he says it isn’t notable, yet he contributes a rather lengthy list of zx spectrum games, that are no where near as noteworthy, it just don’t seem right

Isn’t the whole point of a game engine to provide a foundation for a game, or other projects?
If this is so, then shouldn’t mere mention of its use provide notability?

If it was to be deleted, the articles on wikipedia for those projects that use ioquake3 would then say “this project is powered by the ioquake3 engine, etc” without a link, and someone, wanting to know more about it, would request an article. It provides information about the base that these other projects were built on.

You realize that this doesn’t actually help the situation, right? We sound like whiny little girls now. Thanks.
