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:

http://cubeengine.com/cube_intel_pda/

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

you can make a commercial project out of cube and make lots of money on it... ZLIB allows this. One restriction is that it has to be called something else but Cube.

The biggest problem for anyone trying this would of course be that they'd have to come up with completely new media, the ZLIB license only covers the source code.

i also read somewhere that you could sell disks with zlib projects on them, such as cube, so long as you were only charging the cost of the disk. is this true? i can't remember the file off the top of my head, i think it was the readme for another opensource game. maybe not, my memory is in poor shape

No, these are GPL. Cube contains media licensed under the GPL and other licenses. If you remove that media and replace it with your own, then license it zlib you can sell as much as you like.

The real trick is to do something cool, and to know how to make use of it. Personally I don't think a single person can do that.

This may be a dumb question. So if a person replaces all media (textures, monsters, items, guns, music, sounds, etc...) a person can turn around and sell CUBE under another name and profit from it?
BTW, I am in process of replacing most of the media to give CUBE a face lift. I've completed replacing all textures (except for 3 of them) so far along with a new config to use them. Is anyone interested in them to use before I finish my "face-lift"? It's about 9meg zipped. The textures are from free sources (golgotha, DG, 3d cafe, etc...) and re-edited to work in CUBE.

Any Chance to get this running on a non-accelerated system like the x30?

mitaman, yes you can make it commercial if you use ALL your own media, and give it another name, but still give cube credit.

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.

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.

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.
