Tremulous on Android?
« on: June 04, 2009, 09:44:50 am »
As time goes on, these mobile phones are getting more powerful.  Look at the Nvidia Tegra or Snapdragon platforms that are coming soon!  There is also a 1Ghz qualcomm chipset coming.  Its not a matter of if the platform can handle it, its a question of when someone will port to it.  Anyone willing to port Tremulous to Android?

Edit: Android is the future, I deleted anything related to M$...

Edit 2: SDK!  http://developer.android.com/sdk/

If you buy devs (or Amanieu) a phone that can handle trem, they will port it for sure :)

I have PocketQuake on my WinMo based phone.  I dare anyone to mod Tremulous so it works on it as well, using the phones internet connection.  It could be a first (unless some other multiplayer game already works like this?).

Then there is Android, with a Linux backbone.  Need I say more?
You might want to take a look at the Pandora videos depicting Quake 3 running on it. It's got an ARM CPU so they've likely written a QVM interpreter for it that is fast enough.

i'll try and compile trem on my Neo Freerunner. Odds are it won't work, since iirc it has no direct rendering support :(

dont these phones have an SDK / PDK for windows mobile.
Idk if they can be used since most of them are for VC and gcc but its worth a shot looking for.

Android SDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/

I really like Android better than Windows.  Why did I devote 80% of my post to Windows?  Being a mobile phone port for Android, you could publish it to the Android market.  Didn't Google just give away a whole bunch of dev phones?

So, I am guessing nobody is willing to port this to Android?

In that case it would be: "Tremulous on STEROIDS!!!111"

Its kind of funny, we have always had the MS vs Apple vs Linux on computers, now its going to be MS vs Apple vs Linux on phones as well.  I like Android better, open source for the win.

It's definately kinder on the pocket, but it will never win unless communism comes back into fashion.

Would be interesting to see the results of this, sneaking a quick game of trem while at work.

I was never trying to play trivia with you in the first place. You suggested that I was confusing two things, so I simply cleared it up.

You are right. I should take in less of that testosterone replacement. It is making me all itchy ;-P

Gameloft has a ton of games for android that look simular to Tremulous. So it could be done but maybe on a different game/graphics engine. ;)
