SDL exists for Ubuntu Touch. Also, pygame and pygame-sdl (both only python2 unfortunately)
However, you have to enlarge your system.img partition in order to have room for it (Atleast on Nexus 5) See: https://github.com/plasma-mobile/plasma-phone-dev-setup/blob/master/usr/bin/resize-root-partition
Then sudo remount / -o rw,remount && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-pygame etc
I've been trying to create a click package with some pygame testing code, but not managed to get the dependency setting in clickable.json to install python-pygame-sdl2..

Looks pretty! But won't things be too tiny on a 5-6 inch phone?

Hi @dobey,

1. There are only a python2 pygame_sdl2 package available.
2. Out of ignorance :-) No idea how to make a click. I'll give it a try.
3. After a reboot Scopes shows up my icons. I guess as a click it will work better.

Not sure if SDL2 got included when I installed pygame_sdl2 or not.
Thanks!

How do I start a simple pygame-sdl2 test app from Scopes, like the one below:

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import time
import pygame_sdl2
pygame_sdl2.import_as_pygame()

import pygame.display

pygame.init()
di = pygame.display.Info()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((di.current_w, di.current_h), pygame.FULLSCREEN)
screen.fill((255,255,255))

pygame.draw.circle(screen, (255, 0, 0), (di.current_w/2, di.current_h/2), 100, 0)
pygame.display.flip()

time.sleep(2)

I've remounted / as rw, and apt-get install'ed python-pygame-sdl2
I've tried to create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
and I see that Scopes get's redrawn, but no new icon appears.

How should such a .desktop look like? Is it the right way to add an app to Scopes?

Edit: After rebooting the phone, the icon of my app showed up. But how to reload .desktop files in a more smooth way?

Too bad Mir support was removed from SDL a few days ago :-(

Good initiative! Maybe include on each game engine how well they preform on Ubuntu Touch, things that are not working that good etc?

Interesting. Sad that the performance was that bad.
Have you had a look at https://github.com/renpy/pygame_sdl2?
(It has a pygame compatible mode)
There is at least one game for Sailfish that uses that pygame_sdl2.

Thanks! I'll do that.

Is there a way to block pop-ups to be opened from a webapp?

It's a bit annoying that the morph browser starts-up and wants to display some advertisements. (Adblocker just makes an empty page to be shown)

There seems to be no block pop-up setting in the morph browser.

I've been playing around from time to time with Ubuntu Touch on the Xperia X. Over all it works very well, but a few things that are not really working (and not mentioned not to work above):

• Vibrator
• GPS
• Of the sensors, only accelerometer works
• A fully charged battery is reported to be at 67%.
• After pressing the power, it takes a few seconds before I can unlock it. Maybe related to the lack of graphic hw acceleration?
