March 13, 2010 - New build soon

Postby Dan East » Mar 13, 2010 @ 7:08pm

I will be releasing a new build of Pocket Quake soon. Most of the work is already complete. This update is all about compatibility with the various hardware and Windows Mobile versions that have come along since PQ was first released almost a decade ago.

Among the new capabilities:
  • Native Resolution Support - if you have a WVGA device running at 800x480, then PQ will render at that resolution if you wish. However, your device must have a fast CPU to push that many pixels or the FPS will be single digit (an HTC Touch Pro 2 cannot render at WVGA at more than 10 FPS).
  • Pixel doubling - the engine renders internally at 1/2 the display resolution, then scales it up to fill the entire display. Thus an 800x480 WVGA device will render at 400x240, and scale it up to fill the entire display.
  • Support for keyboards - proper support for full QWERTY keyboards.


There are other fixes, but those are the key things at this time.

Beta testers needed
I need beta testers to give this a workout before it is released. I'm looking for the widest diversity in hardware possible. All devices running Windows Mobile 4 and up are eligible. Windows CE 3 might also run, but I don't have any working hardware to test going back that far at this time.

I will post another message to this thread when I begin accept beta testers, with instructions on how to apply. Subscribe to this thread and you will get an email notification when I make the announcement.

Please do not post requests to beta test to this thread.
