The port of Cube created by Intel for their latest mobile cpu & 3d chipset has been uploaded to sourceforge. You can get it in the files section as usual here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91993

Some (older) screenshots are here:

And the hardware you need to run this is available for example here:

no, it needs OpenGL ES to work. That would run too slow without HW accelleration.

Aard, just to let you know I have no plans to make money on CUBE, I was just curious. As far as the "face lift" goes I just want to bring a bit of variety to the CUBE community.

#18: I can't turn only with stylus

by NEBE on 02/16/2005 00:31

Can someone help me, I only move side to side with the keyes on my X50v.

Other than that the game works great.

NEBE!!

how can you afford such things?

$800 dollars or so is way too much money to waste.

mitamanincave: Sure I'm interested! Can you post the link to your face-lift?
BTW if you became the developer, you can add your "media-pack" to SourceForge directly (or after approval of admin.)

#22: It's not that expensive

by ANFSCD on 02/24/2005 01:27

Ummm, where'd you get $800 for the Axim x50v? You can buy it brand new for $449 directly from Dell or get it used for under $400. That's a pretty good price for a PDA that has a VGA display, wifi, bluetooth, readers for two memory types, 624MHz processor, 2700g 16Meg video processor and more.

Here's the link:

I am at GDC in SF at the moment, and guess what I found at the Intel booth... a laptop and 2 pda's all running cube, in a network multiplayer game :)

I took pictures... will upload later if anyone wants.

#31: new, optimized, version

by Aardappel_ on 04/13/2005 03:57

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91993

New binary that is an optimized version of the previous release (up to 40% faster). This is the release as demoed by Intel at GDC. No new source as the extra speed is purely from using a new version of Intel's compiler.

#32: FAQ:

by Aardappel_ on 04/13/2005 03:59, refers to #31

Oh and, some FAQ's Jeff answered from questions on this forum:

1) The stylus is the only way to turn at the moment (exactly like the
mouse in PC Cube). I may address this if there is a next release.
2) Using the stylus slows the game down, this is a known issue.
3) There is no installer application; to play they must put it on a
CF/SD card or transfer the entire game via Activesync.
4) Using hacks or tweaks such as the GAPI one are not supported and can
cause the game to not run.
5) Cube will only run on a Dell Axim X50v or better, the game will crash
on PDAs without graphics accelerators.
