Zero Hour now running natively on Android

[fadi-labib]

Hey everyone, Zero Hour is now running natively on Android 🎉

Real engine, the GPL source, via the GeneralsX lineage and fbraz3's macOS/Linux port and Ammaar's iOS port did the heavy lifting, cross-compiled for arm64. DXVK translates D3D8 to Vulkan 1.3 on a bundled Turnip driver, loaded without root. Skirmish vs AI runs 30–60fps on a Tab S7+ with proper RTS touch controls.

APK is public (no game assets, you push your own copy): https://github.com/fadi-labib/Generals-Android/releases

If you have an Adreno-GPU phone (Snapdragon 855+), I'd love test reports, especially non-Samsung devices.

Exynos/Mali folks: not yet, it's the top open issue.

The Android version is a very requested feature and you bring it to life!

I don't knew about a iOS version also. thank you very much for the information.

Will update the project's readme to include both projects.

@fbraz3 Thanks a lot for your support. I am actively working on this and making strong progress across multiple Android architectures and hardware targets.

The performance and gameplay are already quite amazing. I have played for hours, and honestly, that is largely thanks to your work here. I am currently investigating a WASM (browser based version of it)
