fluffrabbit {l Wrote}:GPLv3 disallowing distribution on the iOS app store
mteufel {l Wrote}:Due to the GPL it is illegal to distribute SuperTux via the App Store.
Seems like games run native code on the devices in a lot of cases.
Varying screen size seemed like a hassle as well.
Have you done any mobile development?
acme_pjz {l Wrote}:My personal experience is stick to native code. So far I'm always using SDL2 (and the Android specific function in it). The difficult part is not the API/SDK level, but the optimization of game play and UI for touch-screen control.
fluffrabbit {l Wrote}:I had a look at Puzzle Boy, and it looks like a functional repo, but very complicated. It's also pre-Gradle and locked into Google's SDK. I set up a toy repo to figure out the Debian droid SDK here:

I'm glad the Google repos aren't blocked in China, but I stand by my statement that the SDK Manager paradigm is a dumpster fire. I'm trying to use the alternative.

Give it a few weeks to a month to start filling up with posts/topics, and then start by disabling new topics here and then archive this forum to read-only.

We were at that point all ready to go with a nice platform (Flarum), but then people complained a lot about its Javascript use so I honestly lost motivation and removed it again. The problem is that every currently available FOSS forum software that would be a real upgrade to this one requires JavaScript to function reasonably well.
If/when there is some alternative that runs better without javascript I will definilty consider it, but right now forcing a new system with mandatory javascript would split this already small community.
