Wow, I didn't even know that this was feasible to do. I'm very curious about some benchmarks, that show the quality of the compiler. It would be a shame if the pascal version would be significantly slower.

Coders rule nr 1: Face ur bugz.. dont cage them with code, kill'em with ur cursor.
I thought this game was on the android market now, but I can't find it!

That depends on how it's packaged for distribution. I'm assuming that the tool developers will be leaving it open for maximum flexability for the individual developers to decide; strapped on JavaScript run-time engine, pages to be loaded on a web server and so on...
The end result would be 100% web compatible so I think that the end product's form will depend on those that use it to make HTML5 apps and games.
I just realized that I might have been getting confused with this Android app made with Smart Mobile Studio!

If you were wondering how the Smart Mobile Studio made an Android app...PhoneGap was used to convert the webpage version to an android app

Not yet, I'm still adding stuff, and cleaning up the Java wrapper.
There is not much Java (less than 50 lines, including blanks & lines with only a squigly), but I've been tweaking the Android WebView option. PhoneGap doesn't really cut it for a game on Android, due to bugs in the Android 2.x browsers: things like scrolling & pinch-to-zoom can only be disabled on the Java side (for iOS, the viewport meta works perfectly AFAICT).
Performance is more complicated as there is a wild variety of devices, it runs at 30FPS on my HTC Desire, but I've add some issues on older phones and tablets (apparently some Android tablets don't have the hardware acceleration enabled). And need to find time to package the app (make the icon, marketplace graphics, etc.).
But it's coming
Thanks for the update Eric

Next in the list, looking at adding global high-scores, & achievements. Not sure what service to use, OpenFeint doesn't seem to have a RESTful API for posting scores (only for reading), otherwise I would have used it (could do my own global high-score server, but where would the fun be? ;-))
