love-android: discussion

Post by hagish »

We started to port the löve api to android (2.2, opengl es 1.1).
At the moment it is just a prototype to check if it is possible and how much work it would be.
We already ported love.timer, love.keyboard, love.mouse and first parts of love.image, love.graphics, love.filesystem.

Holy crap, this is awesome. Was just daydreaming about it the other day. I'm doing quite a bit with android lately, I may be able to assist as well.

Is it pure java, or do you use the native interface to bridge to the original LÖVE code in C++ ? If it's the second case, I'd be very interested.
When I write def I mean function.

Holy crap, awesome!! Will keep two eyes on this project. Do you have .love-files as a part of your app or is this one single LÖVE app that runs .love files from the sdcard?

Currently we load an unzipped love file from an hardcoded path on the sdcard.

Well, if only you can choose the path yourself (one path per app), and make sure the .lua files are placed there at installation (or first run) that really works. Actually saves space kind of like app2sd. The only problem I can see is that files are going to be left behind when you uninstall the app.
