ac892006 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I know this Idea is a bit premature but with the rise of touch computing maybe some us should start to think how to port 0 AD to tablets and phones . IMAGINE :- playing 0ad on Iphone 4S with siri as your intelligent battle adviser and voice controls to control the game along with touch based controls as well .

tinoesroho Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Personally, the mobile devices don't have enough computing power. Maybe a Vita port would be more practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmartgoat Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It would require a complete rewrite of the game engine for each of these devices since they are both java based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhyloc Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) I don't think a RTS game like 0 A.D. will fit into those small screens, not to mention how frustrating the control will be without a proper mouse and keyboard.

Ykkrosh Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It would require a complete rewrite of the game engine for each of these devices since they are both java based.iOS doesn't even support Java; it's mainly Objective-C and C and C++. Android's NDK supports C++ too.The main effort would probably be in porting all our rendering code to OpenGL ES, and then dealing with CPU-specific features, and then worrying about how to get adequate performance at least on high-end devices, and then worrying about how to make a sane input system and UI.

asmartgoat Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Ah, I'm wrong on that. But AFAIK, .apks are only java?. But you *Can* install stuff like busybox etc. But its not the norm.Anyway, i've only done a little in java, so i'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
