    I got a terminal emulator to experiment with that source code...it was 204MB (OH GOD! WHY?!) @_@

     

    Edit: Oh My God, if you click on my "@_@" it links to a nonexistant user page. LOL

     yes i know that but you dont make pepole donate you give them a choice. you could either make 2 programs one free and one that cost wich is the donation version. Or you could add a program that allows the user to donate by clicking the button in the app.

    it does say 100-500 installs ... which is $200 - $1000 . If I knew how to compile I would probably release a free version that has more (easier to use, fix keyboard, latest elements / fixes from my mod, etc.), but ... I don't know how.

    I think it's just cool to finally have an android version. I haven't tested it yet but someone did give it to me so I could test on my phone.

    Gonna compile it...
    EDIT: Could you give me the NDK toolchain you used or the command you used to generate it?

    I have one question:

     

    I found your apk on the internet, you shared it in a forum. Why not here!?

    I made an experimental version of my mod that can upload saves that the android version can open: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43784416/midgettpt.zip
    (barely tested, and probably won't work if you use PSTN, CRAY, or mod elements)

    also I found some bugs in the android version:
    the options menu crashes the game (annoying when hit by accident)
    the "C" button on the right is useless, remove that
    PROP also does not work and sees a little weird, I got ISZS somehow ... maybe remove that too
    XRES is not divisible by 4, it NEEDS to be to save and load saves correctly
    the walls menu doesn't scroll. the scrolling is sort of annoying though ...
    the whole online looks bad with the smaller size ... but oh well, it would take a lot of work to fix it. If I find out how to compile I will fix things, but it would be a free version.


    Also question, does this have Lua? and what about GRAVFFT? I'm guessing no for both, but i'm not sure.

    I have a few things to say.

     

    The C button opens the console, which correctly works for me. Maybe it's your phone?

    The options menu also crashes for me. I also find it annoying.

    PROP works for me when I click on something, can't test if it actually works, because the app does not support my keyboard.

    Idk what you just said. (XRES)

    Why do you need scrolling if everything is in it. (I think). Maybe it's because your phone's screen is smaller. Because I used my tab to test this.

    Agreed; it looks bad, some improvements should happen. Like larger text = better pressing for smaller phones.

    And able to scroll in saves; easier for small phones...

     

    I think this has lua; Haven't tested yet; as noted above, it does not make me use my keyboard on my tab.

    I meant "C" is useless now because there is no keyboard. I have no idea if lua is enabled or not, but if the keyboard problem was fixed then I guess that would be helpful again. Same problem with PROP (and I guess SIGN, but that might allow you to move existing signs, I haven't tested)
    Everything to the left of EHOLE is not in the menu, this includes GAS WALL, GRAVITY WALL, and ENERGY WALL. I can't remember if energy wall is existing in the c version of tpt though. This has nothing to do with screen size, and all to do with XRES and the scrolling code the game uses.

    On irc me and mniip were talking about some possible improvements we would try if we could compile, like a redesigned element selector (and interface in general).
