Abstract :
Mobile gaming is one of the fastest growing segments in the video game industry. Through a partnership between Motorola Laboratories and GamePipe Laboratory at the University of Southern California, we are exploring Linux´s capabilities for mobile gaming and to provide developers with an alternative to what is predominantly a Java-based medium. Moving beyond Java lets game developers fully leverage the hardware advances and software capabilities of high-end smart phones
