Summary
Single-player Half-Life now runs on the 2007 Nokia N95 at about 30fps, with sound, weapons and core gameplay already working on Symbian S60v3.
Leoncini built the port on the open-source Xash3D FWGS engine, adapting Valve's 1998 shooter for the N95's 240x320 display, 332 MHz dual ARM11 CPU and 128 MB RAM.
Bluetooth mouse-and-keyboard support is already implemented, while the developer says the phone's built-in controls may also be usable for play.
Remaining work centers on fixing slowdowns and bugs, with Leoncini also targeting LAN and online multiplayer, better AI, improved graphics and broader testing.
Leoncini said the project is driven by his passion for free software, though he also accepts Patreon backing and donations for his coding and educational videos.
