Android port of Hedgewars
Hello everybody!
I am Richard Deurwaarder, or rather Xeli in-game and on IRC. I've been selected as one of the GSoC students and I will port Hedgewars to Android.
GSoC (Google Summer of Code) is a project organized by Google which allows 1000 students to participate in Open-Source projects. The actual period when I'll be coding is from May 24th to August 22th.
For those interested this was my proposal: http://goo.gl/Rn9K2
During May 24th and August 22th I'm hoping to achieve the following goals is this order:
- Getting a demo up and running (this will require the engine to be ported to the correct processor architecture and its dependencies with a small Android wrapper)
- Getting single player up and running (this will require a part of front end of Android to be implemented, specifically the controls in-game)
- Implementing additional features (think online multiplayer for example)
- Bug hunting
For the second and forth goal I'll need some beta testers, especially those of you with Android tablets: I will need your help.
You'll see some of these post coming up once there has been made some progress!
