Hi there I have one problem with the installation, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 and created the folders as specified I coppied the files over and installed the kwaak3 file but now when I try to run the game,it gives me the START GAME and visit website screen but when I want to start the game my phone gives me an error “Unable to locate /sdcard/quake3.” is there any way to fix this??

Hi i have tried it in my Galaxy 3 and it works perfect. I think i need a bluetooth controller for better movemens.

Good

another Great app I am going to get when I get my g1

There are plenty of other optimizations to do before bumping clock rate a tad. Honestly I was rather surprised to get as high of a frame rate using a desktop originated floating point engine. practically everything cross compiles with the use of Typhon and there are only 4 core classes changed for rendering with Android for some minor OpenGL to OpenGL ES changes; IE no display lists, change glDrawRangeElements to glDrawElements, indexing to GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT instead of GL_UNSIGNED_INT. So, amazingly this is still pretty much is a non-optimized engine as far as Android goes. The BSP / culling system does it’s job adequately to get the current frame rate.

Hmm I know this might be frowned upon but thought I’d give it a shot: have you tried this at all with a G1 clocked to 528MHz? Some of us with rooted phones run at that rate regularly and it’d be interesting to see how the increased clock rate effects this thing’s framerate..

This is great news, good luck on your advancements.

“Q3 class engine should work well for FPS on the G1″

Those are the words i’ve been waiting to hear. I can’t wait till we see some games released.

FYI. After doing a little more testing it is indeed curved surfaces / bezier patches that are killing frame rate currently and this makes sense. By turning off curved surfaces frame rate is a steady 20-45 FPS; dropping to 15 at points. Switching to VBO and perhaps even fixed point will help. Reducing patch size at long distances will help (no LOD currently) amongst other things… Q3 class engine should work well for FPS on the G1 with sparse usage of curved surfaces.. :)
