	Can Civ1 be translated to PDA-CIV (Epoch32 , Palm or CE) ??? Got spare money?

Hey , I'm new to apolyton , but You can guess my aim
by seeing my name - the question is simply :

Has anybody seen/heard about a PDA-CIV game or is
somebody developing a PDA-CIV game (especially for
my Psion 5MX with loooooong batterylife) ????

Could someone - from Apolytons moderators perhaps -
contact SM (no , short for Sid Meier ...) and ask if we can
transfer his Civ1 , now freeware , somehow ???

I might go into the subject myself , but my programming
is a bit rusty and probably inadequate , though I don't
mind taking up the challenge !!!

I don't think anyone needs to ask Sid.

Apolyton in the past has posted where you can download the original classic from a legit website. So I would think that the game is open to anyone.


Even if you couldn't use the exact code, there are a couple of groups making new civ games in an open source way that have borrowed many of Civ II's graphices.

In the end the biggest hurdle I believe would be someone actually doing the work and converting it. If you have the know how and are willing to take the time then I am sure there would not be a problem. But it would take time to convert to a new OS.

	THANKS FOR REPLIES ! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hope I'll get more (about CIVgames and OS's ...) and especially thanks
to #tniem# for information . BUT I would like to know WHERE to find
these groups / WHO they are ! If you know of skillfull people who I can
ask silly programming-questions - or if people here may help - I will begin to work on the GAME . Of course I'm selfish enough to write in Epoch32
(Psion5MX and EricssonMC218) first ; then I'll gladly help & hand out my
experience and may try writing in PalmOS - BUT I haven't got one , so ...
Anyway I'll be back here within a day or two (going to see my parents)
so please vote and add comments/suggestions/help .
By the way , CyberShy , I guess you then voted other ?

	Hey , I'm back! Put an end to popups!

I just looked at the statistics for the replies/views-section
of this thread I started about making PDA-CIV-games :

10 replies and 80 (!) views

Only 5 persons has taken the BIG inconvenience to vote !

What can I say ?

Except : PLEASE VOTE
(even if you're just curious and want to read more
from/about this PDA CIV character ... I mean this highly
controversial person , this unlabelled SMAC-believer !?!?! )

And an OS-summary :

Palm pilot etc. uses Palm-OS
Psion 5MX/Ericsson MC218 uses Epoch32
HP Jornada / Casio-peia uses Win-CE

PS : Are you all having a great vacation out there ???

PDA-CIV:

I haven't done any programming with a PDA before, but I was able using google to find a couple of decent sites.

First is PDA Street located at http://www.pdastreet.com/.

Go to whatever platform you want to program on and then go to Developers link at the bottom of the page.


Second is a tutorial to Palm Programming located at http://home.hetnet.nl/~tonicor/palm/tutorial/uk/


Hope these might help. Hope your project turns out a great success.

Oh, one more thing if you are really serious about doing this, Slashdot recommends the book, Palm Programming - The Developer's Guide by Neil Rhodes & Julie McKeehan, Mark Stone, Ed.

To read the review go to http://slashdot.org/books/98/12/31/1258257.shtml.

That link also has a number of other links to programming pda sites that are probably better for indepth stuff than what I recommended.
