Hello,

I saw the port of Quake 3 for android and became interested in the possibility of running the original Unreal Tournament (UT99) on my droid 2.

Unreal is not open source, however a linux port exists and Epic released part of the source code for the linux port in order for the user community to improve upon it back when the port was made. The info for the project is here-
OpenUT - Unreal Tournament Open Source Project

I found out that it is possible to run linux distributions such as debian and ubuntu on android phones now (source- Debian & Android Together on G1 - Jay Freeman (saurik)).

I came up with an idea- would it be possible to run the linux port of unreal tournament on a linux distribution running on an android phone? I know that sounds implausible, but I know some of the newer android phones like my droid 2 are powerful enough to run the game.

Or, perhaps the open source code released by Epic for the linux port and the open ut project could be used to create an android port of the game?

Would anyone knowledgeable be willing to investigate this? I would be willing to help in any way I can.

EDIT: It turns out Epic has released the source code for the windows version as well, if that would be any help-

i dont mind working on a project for a UT port. the controls have to be the most important part. maybe a virtual joystick. let me know if your interested. btw are you a programmer?
