about torpor:

I am an embedded C/C++ developer currently employed by the THALES Group to make sure trains don't crash. This doesn't satisfy me nearly as much as making hand-held devices crash, so I spend time hacking on Pandora when I can.

Stuff I have done for Pandora:

• Ported WakeBreaker to the Pandora native-compiler environment. This is a 3D game demo that gives you everything you need to start writing your own 3D game, so it makes a lot of sense that it gets ported to Pandora .. you can use this as the basis for your own 3D games for the Pandora, easily enough, and you don't need to set up a cross-compiler: just use your Pandora to build software for the Pandora! A novel concept, but worthwhile if you value your sanity: [1]

• Ported Oricutron to Pandora. Oricutron is an amazing emulator of the old 8-bit Oric-1/Atmos home computers from the era when tape-loading noises were a way to soothe ones conscience, late, late into the night .. [2]

• Documented and continually champion the "Bollocks" style of Pandora development, otherwise known as the native compiler environment. You can read about that here: [3], if you want to set your Pandora up for native development ..
