Built this to try out SDL that was added to Cygwin recently. Sadly,
performance of the game is rather disappointing compared to the native
Linux version running on the same hardware. Consequently, you might
decide that this is not appropriate for Cygwin just yet, or it might
only have value as a benchmarking aid for Cygwin/X. Or you might
consider that the performance is actually pretty impressive, given the
number of emulation layers involved :-)
This is the 'hobbled' version from Fedora with the non-free fonts
removed. As per Fedora, DejaVu-Sans has been substituted, so you will
need font-dejavu-ttf from CygwinPorts. Yaakov: If foobillard is
accepted into Cygwin, would you mind awfully bringing this font package
over, please?
There are two other patches, both from Fedora.
Feel free to reject this on performance grounds if you think it is
unplayable. However, if someone gets some enjoyment out of it then I'm
happy to maintain it.
Dave.
