RE: Improving Support for Games Like Geometry Dash on Ubuntu Touch
About the state of Frameworks and Game Engines:
- Unity: There is a Demo App in the store that prints FPS.
- Godot: There is also a kind of benchmark-like Demo App.
- Bacon2D: works, but is unmaintained for 8 years now.
- I believe that anything based on SDL or WebGL (or Qt) should do.
Providing SDL3 with better system integration is in the works. Clickable provides a Godot app template, but this is for UT 20.04 currently. 24.04 support probably comes after beforementioned SDL3 (+SDL2 via compat layer) support is finished.

RE: Improving Support for Games Like Geometry Dash on Ubuntu Touch
I am not an expert on the matter, but from my understanding:
- efficient rendering: hardware acceleration is key. You should have this with Qt (incl. Web Apps) and SDL (incl. Godot).
- smooth frame rates: comes with efficient rendering and CPU performance. Bonus on UT: apps without focus get suspended and there is not much going on as of background services.
- accurate touch input: this is probably mostly impacted by hardware and drivers. So this may vary depending on the device port. In principle, all these points could suffer from issues in a specific port.

RE: Issues with clickable gdb / gdbserver
@Talkless sorry to hear that and that the debugging was such a painful process. Let me know if you have ideas for improvements or decide to get back to this issue.

RE: Forum mail activation might not work
There is not much we can do, as we run our own mailserver the big industry´s services might slowdon/filter that traffic. Its basically they give a .... about anything thats independently hosted and flag it or drop it.
On my private email but also sometimes with UBports I am automatically added to GMail spam for every user I ever wrote to. For UBports mass mailing we even use a paid SMTP server as otherwise not much would come through.

RE: Issues with clickable gdb / gdbserver
@Talkless I just realized that I lost track of this one back then. Do you still encounter the crashes you were trying to debug?

RE: Making Ubuntu Touch compatible with UnifiedPush ?
@adorsaz There are a few complications when changing the push protocol. For the moment we already working on a unified push => ubuntu push bridge, and so you might want to join this Telegram group: https://t.me/+7zQzeeDVa38yZTIx We can discuss the things there in better detail

RE: Why does UT not have assisted GPS?
@RapidRotator that would be great. I guess its not so straightforward but maybe we are lucky
