[haiku-development] Re: Gaming in Haiku...

I tried running "Dominos" (the full-screen BeOS demo) in Haiku. It wouldn't run, because it said there wasn't some kind of Game KIt support. I can play Windowed games, like Circus Linux and others, no problem. But does Haiku lack anything, to do full-screen (non-windowed) games? I tried running IRE "The False Messiah" (an Ultima 6-type gaming engine), but it crashed almost immediately after it the title screen appeared.
I can't seem to find any other examples of full screen games/demos, etc. that will run in Haiku, to test this capability. Do you know of any?
I'm asking, because I am interested in giving Haiku a little more exposure, by having a simple full-screen game written for an arcade machine I am planning to build for a local business, to help increase revenue, in a unique way.
But the point is moot, if Haiku can't do it. I need 3-button mouse support (Left coin, Right coin, and "Fire"), which is already covered in Haiku, as was in BeOS. Audio support is covered as well. Have to make sure music/sound samples are recorded in the right format, otherwise they stutter and glitch like crazy, but that's easy enough... just use the file format of samples that play properly already.
