Cool, thanks for the fast porting and the details in your blog post
(including the bugs found through the exercise).

You got a nice proof point for software relying directly on OpenGL ES
and we hope to see more ports.

Playing the game itself on the touchscreen might be problematic when
having to register more than one press at the same time, though.

By the way, do you mind uploading your packages to
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/ ? This way you
don't need to mix the Diablo repositories and we start building a
Fremantle extras common library. Same for the rest of developers
starting to develop with Fremantle.
