Great work so far - but I'm wondering about a few things:

Pretty much all of the talk around here has been about the on-Screen
controls you've provided, or about a serial joystick / controller but
what about simply enabling support for the newton keyboard until such a
controller is hacked together?

Frame rates - before the controls were added I got roughly 22 fps on my
2100 - now that I'm actually able to play the frame rate dips as low as
9 - are you planning on doing much more optimisation of the engine for
speed?

Sound support?

        All this aside - VERY NICE WORK so far!
