OpenTTD for Nokia 770 / Maemo, OS2006
OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features. More info about game on OpenTTD webpage
There is a port of this game to OS2005 at http://openttd.toimii.net/maemo/. I have taken it, recompiled for OS2006 and made some improvements.
Changes
- Internet tablet OS 2006 release.
- Fullscreen works in-game via hardware fullscreen button.
- Zoom works via hardware zoom buttons.
- Non-free data files are expected to reside at /media/mmc1/openttd/data/ (sample.cat, trg1r.grf, trgcr.grf, trghr.grf, trgir.grf and trgtr.grf)
- Save games are put to world writable directory at /var/lib/install/openttd/save

Download
Disclaimer: files provided here are without any warranty, even without any implied warranty where possible. They may destroy your device, delete all your data and ruin your life. They however work for me.
OpenTTD is under GPL v2 licence. See COPYING file inside source archive.
- openttd_0.4.7jtra-1_armel.deb - install this via "dpkg -i" or application manager; place non-free files from original game on your mmc card so they reside at /media/mmc1/openttd/data.
- openttd-0.4.7jtra-source.tar.bz2 - sources for binary package above
Known Bugs
- No way to enter text. But the game can be played without that. Perhaps it works with BT keyboard, I did not try that.
- When HOME key is pressed in full screen mode and icon is used to come back, the application part of screen will be black. Solution: activate and deactive applications menu - game will then redraw.
- Map is not scrollable. You can however close map and reopen while placed elsewhere.
- When you have original game files with names like trg1.grf and other without 'r' letter before dot. You can use them too, but it requires root access and knowledge of unix commands. You have to delete symlinks (*r.grf) in /var/lib/install/openttd/data and make new ones with correct names (trg?.grf).
