A Dutch amateur programmer has ported ID’s Quake 3 to Google’s Android platform. The developer said it took him hardly any time to convert the code, but optimizing it took ‘many days’.
The reason for the short conversion time for the project was mainly because there was already a Linux version for Maemo devices called ioquake3. The new Android version is called Kwaak3, which is the Dutch phonetic pronunciation of the work Quake. Without sounds, the game runs at 25fps, which is worse than the 40fps the game generated on the PC. The developer tested the game on the Motorola Milestone which runs Android 2.0.
