'''Current state of Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games:'''
== Future ==
As both the games Speedy Blupi for Windows and for Windows Phones are closed-source and with proprietary dependencies, the goal for the future should be to completely port these games to their open source alternatives: Open Eggbert, Rapid Eggbert, Mobile Eggbert.
* Both the games '''Speedy Blupi I''' and '''Speedy Blupi II''' are '''closed-source'''.
* Free and open source technologies should be used regarding the future and to keep these games running on the future operating systems.
* Modifications are possible only by difficult hex editing of the EXE files
* We cannot fix bugs
* We cannot improve the existing features
* We cannot add new features
'''Current state of Open Eggbert:'''
* Very early stages of development. The amount of the work to do is huge. ''We have to build first the solid code base of the game infrastructure.''
Old versions of [[Visual Studio]], [[DirectX]] 3, [[Direct Play]], [[Windows Phone]] emulators and others may not be supported on the future versions of the [[Windows]] operating systems.
* You can '''play a demo in web browser''', which is available also online at: https://play.openeggbert.com/
* '''Any contributions''' are welcome.
** If you would like to help, you can contact us at '''info@openeggbert.com'''.
** Review, what is planned to be worked on, is here: https://openeggbert.com/title/Projects
** Optionally, we can organize online meetings, share screens etc.
'''Reason:''' No one has yet appeared to start a project to create a recreation (reimplementation) of Speedy Blupi I/2.
'''New era begins:''' Open Eggbert will allow adding new features, fixing bugs, porting the game to new platforms.
Free replacements are: [[SDL]] and [[MonoGame]].
'''New features''' that will enhance the original games, are planned to. '''Examples of new features:''' Recreation of game graphics (doubled resolution). New vehicles. Existing features will be improved.

Please note: Open Eggbert is specifically focused on recreating Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games. It does not include other Blupi games.
''Open Eggbert does not plan to support iPhone. Reason: iPhone via RoboVM supports only Java 8. But you can try compile Open Eggbert with Java 8 and add iPhone support.''
