Java Android tablet support

Postby wafflecat » Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:23 pm

Hi there
I was wondering if the game works using the java that is in the Android OS. I recently bought a tablet and most simple java based games work but H&H doesn't.
Does anyone have any idea how to make this work. Also, what kind of java does the game use (jre, j2somehing etc..)?

I have. 3 months ago some people said it might work but they didn't mention how. That's why I'm asking.

As I know it's normal Java that games run on.
Not all android's are supporting Java. For example some Samsung cannot run native Java code, but you can get around that. I actually managed to get game written with Java library running on my Samsung Galaxy Note. :D
I doubt this game would run on android, because it's not programmed for mobile resolutions (dunno how to say, english not native language, but every phone or android device has different resolution and you need to keep that in mind when you are writing code).

Two words: OpenGL support.

HnH uses JOGL for OpenGL support.

Just to note: HnH could probably support other OpenGL APIs, but it would require a major code rewrite.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
