v0.2.3 — Android (experimental)
Downloads: the same three setup programs; use these instead of the earlier
ones. There is no APK to download: the Android version contains the game's code,
so it is built from your own ROM on your PC, like the PC version.
New
- Build for Android in the setup program (
--androidwithout a window).
It downloads Google's Android NDK and SDL2 (once, checked against their
published checksums), compiles the game for 64-bit ARM Android 7.0+, and makes
a signed APK to copy to the phone or handheld and install. No Java or Android
Studio is needed: the APK is packed and signed bytools/android/apk.py. - On Android: full screen in landscape; on-screen buttons (D-pad, A/B/X/Y,
L/R, Start, Select, Menu), hidden while a controller is being used and back at
a touch; fingers on the picture touch the game's touch screen, several at
once; Back opens the pause menu; the save is written when the app goes to the
background; messages and frame timings go tolog.txtin the app's storage. - Tested in Google's Android emulator (Android 14): installs, updates over
itself, loads a save, plays with the on-screen buttons and touch, pause menu.
Not yet tried on a real phone or handheld: reports welcome, with
log.txtif something is wrong.
