    Done, the only alteration however was to return 0 during the cpu check

    It will work on the processor, however the screen is much too small. And I don't know how this will interact with android. Try it if you want and let me know.

    Android's programs run on a special kind of Java for its Dalvik Virtual Machine. Every app gets their own username in which they have their own DVM. You have some access to the native interface and can code bits of the app in C++, but that's all there is. If you were to go out of the android and boot it into a shell, you may be able to run it.

     I knew it ran each application in a virtual machine, I didnt however know it was java. I thought it was just a distribution of linux. So thanks for that :)

     

    As boxmein said if you can boot into the OS which android operates from, it should in theory be possible to run TPT.

    Hello,

     

    I've been trying to get this to work for a while, so thank you for your source code! I'll commit this into my "raspi" branch here: https://github.com/kroq-gar78/The-Powder-Toy_deb

     

    Also, I'll see if I can package this version so it will be an easy-to-(install/remove) package.

     

    EDIT: The package works perfectly! :D Just checkout the branch 'raspi' from the aforementioned repository and do "debuild" or "git buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-ignore-branch" :)
