I had a few problems with loading shader source files and their compilation / linking on the mobile plattform (Symbian S^3 Belle QT 4.8.0). The problems seems to be solved now and i am still not wuite sure why i had the problems, but my guess is: pointer error. I’ll Read more…
Ok, after a break from coding i went back to things and finished the task managment. It is now possible to go to tasks and close them without any problems. For killing tasks immediately a special certificate is needed with PowerMgmt capability, otherwise the thread panics and leads to an Read more…
Ok, basic things are done! Symbian’s tasks can be read but are not displayed yet. The 3D window also works. But this post shows the 3D-window which has nothing realy new… and the non-3D-window design, now with screenshot from device: Switcher design preview. (3D window win7) If you think Read more…

I tested the performance on my Nokia N8 and had a quite good result now. It manages to push ~1.5 million triangles per second or 48012 triangles in 33.3 frames. Further tests will come.
Instead of vertex arrays using vertex buffer objects (VBOs) gained a lot of performance. On my Notebook i got more than twice of the speed. On my nokia N8 it also boosted the speed a lot. Notebook performance (triangles/s): ~34560720 without VBOs ~115200720 with VBOs Running on Intel Core i7 Read more…
Graphical part of the Engine is now close to first release. Physics (Bullet physics engine), Audio, Touch input and so on will follow later.
