Android - V10 release candidate

[Xaron]

OOOHH!!! That game looks lovely Xaron!

Any chance of sharing a demo with the community?

I love tactical games like Advance Wars, HistoryLine 1914-1918 and Battle Isle etc. That looks like it'll keep me happy for a while.

Will you only be releasing for Android devices - I don't have one of those

Thanks! It will be definitely available for iPhone and Android, thats why we use that 480x320 resolution. But this gives me headaches regarding the crude aspect ratio of Android devices. I get it stretched to fullscreen but not centered...

Did you try Dabz's solution:

Thanks yes. That's why it already scales up correctly. But it would be great to have it scaled up/down AND centered. Just a minor issue at the moment though. Is there any lower level stuff I could initialize during the startup, something like a general transformation matrix?

There isn't a way of centring the screen automatically - of course, if you knew the screen resolution, you could do it yourself.

I'm testing GETDESKTOPSIZE at the moment to see if it returns the devices resolution at the current orientation.

These are not working properly:
- drawrect/drawline; no color only white 

Hmm... works for me on my Android.

Prove it!

[MrTAToad]

It's because the device doesn't support some GL extensions (glLine - or more likely GL_LINE) being one of them.

It's the same on my tablet - its why my marketplace screenshots look awful

LOL... Alright, why not. 



Sorry for the poor photo, it's just a snapshot from my HD desire.

Code:

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

FOR i = 1 TO 400
DRAWLINE 0, 0, 400-i, i, RGB(RND(255), RND(255), RND(255))
NEXT

And this is my tablet

It looks like all Android devices are equal - except that some are more equal than others

[Xaron]

LOL!

MrTAToad, what tablet do you have?

Mr.TaToad, did you pay 25$ for publishing your apps?

He has. There is no other way.

[MrTAToad]

Its a WonderMedia tablet.  Whilst it does have the Android Marketplace, its not the official one

Its best to get  proper tablet - unfortunately they aren't that cheap...

Oh yes!

Getting the screen resolution is not the problem but how do I shift the whole screen using GLBasic?

[MrTAToad]

GETDESKTOPSIZE seems to work (although I dont know yet whether the values change depending on orientation) - you would then be able to centre using that as long as you know how big your play area is.
