My daughter got herself an iTunes gift card for Christmas this year, and one of the first things she bought from the iPod App store was the full blown version of Angry Birds. Apparently, Angry Birds is one of the hottest games for smart phones, and little handheld devices like iPods and iPhones. Would Angry Birds make for a good game with Ubuntu Linux?
I got to play around with angry Birds on her iPod, and I must admit, it is a fun little game. The music is catchy, and the sound effect the birds make when the crash into the pigs are what make the game interesting. Sooner or later, I will get through all of the different levels of Angry Birds.
I assume Angry Birds could be ported over to Ubuntu. Perhaps, the developer could add Angry Birds to the Ubuntu Software Development Center and offer it for a small payment. Since much of Ubuntu is still mouse based, some modifications to Angry Birds may be needed. Since it is already running on Android, the port should not be too difficult.
According to this blog post, an Ubuntu version of Angry Birds may be in the offing. The developers of the Angry Birds game may be open to the idea of Angry Birds running on Ubuntu sometime in the future. So, all you Angry Bird Phanatics better stay tuned!
