Hi all and greetings from the hack3r team!

As you know, we've got a flying theme in the Meegathon during the summit.

Because participants are allowed to start developing their jewels before the
actual 24-hour Meegathon and most of them don't own an ARDrone, there
certainly is a need to develop a simulator for ARDrone.

The idea is to make a desktop app with Qt that responds to commands sent
from MARDrone, and the über-idea is to hook that up with some OpenGL code
to create a virtual drone that can be controlled from an N900.

I've started planning the simulator's architecture and sketching some code.
While it's fun that i get to do everything myself, it would be even more fun
if someone else is interested to participate!:)

So, if you like to be part of creating an ARDrone simulator, contact me please.
The code can be found in Gitorious (currently an initial skeleton):
