Starcraft on Android?

[Ageless Stranger]

Another thing to bear in mind is if you are using divide a lot, especially in loops. Dividing is slow, even worse inside a large loop

And of course, for something as amazing as Starcraft (zerg rush! kekeke ) if you would be willing to share the source, there's people around here that I'm sure would be more than willing to help... ahem

I pushed my source code to assembla.com
=)

Man, make sure you have a paypal account because I will be donating for that when it comes out! I'm not a developer but isn't it possible to make use of the wargus/stratagus engine. I think it has a linux version too.

 

[axlastro]

Bos Wars - this one is interesting too if anyone knew the developers and got the sourcecode.

The new n64 emulator by zodttd should be able to play starcraft 64 on a high end phone...

Take a look at aDOSbox. It's in development, and if they make a full stable release you'll be able to play damn near any DOS based game. I'm really hoping for it to get finished.

Seems to me the biggest problem facing gaming on phones is GUI/controls. From a hardware perspective the phones are as good as a low end desktop PC and have the muscle to hold up the code, but how do you take a game designed to be run with a keyboard and mouse, and use it with a touchscreen-only piece of hardware. The mod scene has shown that a micro-bluetooth mouse and keyboard combo could do wonders for increasing functionality of the phones, but it would take mainstream support in order for a variety of hardware options to become available. I'm thinking silicon roll-up keyboards and micro laptop mice; something portable enough to fit in a pocket. Anyone know when Google will bring this kind of support to Android?

whoa! double thread necro! first one was 1 year 4 months after last post, then another almost 6 months.

I like the guy recommending dosbox for a Windows game.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I would love this..

I got it to boot and move. So close yet so far..

 

[iPhail]

I googled up your name and this is what came out:

LOL now it actually does!!! Owned!

I've seen many strange and wondrous things in my life.

I've seen midgets swallow swords bigger than they were. I've seen the galactic syzygy, I've even seen a grown man make love to a camel.

But I've never seen anything like Starcraft on a calculator.

My grasp on this world has just been revealed as shallow and false.

Guys if you want Starcraft on Android, wait for Android port of the Gameloft IOS game Starfront Collision. With any luck, Gameloft will release the android port for that game by the middle of this year.

Has anyone tired this?

It is not a full port but there are pretty close.

I couldn't get it working because I don't have the install cd.
Plus, I am at work so I can't find them and download either.

If Blizzard could create Starcraft for the Android OS, that would be totally awesome! I would be the first to buy it!

 

[Spr8dogg]

It's always great to see people putting time and effort in to a project like this. I'm wondering if any of you have played command and conquer on iphone/ipod touch? For a real time strategy it has s great user interface. If blizzard could do a port, I think android is a great platform to try it out on.

Hey just saw this post. We're developing a RTS more along the lines of warcraft (stripped down right now) not sure if this is along the lines people are wanting on this thread or not. You can check it out here:

[LinxuS]

bumping this up, curious if there is any new information on it?

 

[ScottColbert]

Just as an aside, I remember reading an interview with Mike Morheim from Blizzard (I think it was him), about porting SC or Diablo to either a console or iPhone, and he said in not so many words, they would only do it if it kept the standards they work by and even though they've tried, it's not going to happen.

The main problem is controls, and screen real estate. It would have to be far more simplified to enable touch controls to work well-all of that cramped on 3.5 - 4 inch screen would be horrendous.

And aside from a couple of apps like the WoW Auction House and account key for battle.et, they've shown no interest in handheld devices. Hell, they've even ignored consoles for the most part.

and I'd be very careful as a dev trying to bring it out-Blizz simply loves sending out cease and desist letters.

 

[operant]

^ exactly.

I barely think I have enough room to play starcraft on a 24 inch monitor (both one and two, though I almost exclusively play two these days), I use a full keyboard, and a gaming mouse. How do you implement right click other than a click on virtual button then click on screen? How do you accurately select units, use shortcuts, or have any micro game whatsoever? I think my Droid x is barely big or accurate enough to use as a minimap.

I don't want to sound like a douche about it, but there's a reason that blizzard games are only on pc. Even consoles don't have enough buttons or a good enough control system.

A russian developer is working on this for some time but know he needs more time for his study. So if anyone is interessing in helping him out, feel free to contact him!
