Is it possible for ZC to be put onto a cell phone. It could get alot of publicity that way just by bluetoothing it to your friends.

Cell Phone? O_o Dude, this program takes up a lot of memory- probably as much as a cell phone could handle without having to "waste" space on pictures and phone calls. There is absolutely no way that I know of that you could get more than Screenshots on a Cellphone.

I was just wondering if it was possible not considering the space issue. They have games for cell phones but those are different i guess and are smaller when it comes to size. They also have memory cards for phones so could that work if you could reduce ZC's size somehow?

No. It has been established that it will not be put on DS or other handheld videogame devices, so a phone will not get a different response. ZC is only for the computer. This will probably not change anytime soon.

The problem with memory cards is that reading/writing to them is slower than RAM, so even if you did have enough space, performance would probably suffer. Then there's the problem of porting Allegro and any other libraries ZC uses to run on a cell phone. And there's also the problem of most cell phones having fairly small, low resolution screens and only a single numeric keypad for input.

I think you get the idea.

I think you can put the Linux version on a Zaurus, though. That's portable too.
