a GOOD rts for android

Post by Funkencool »

I found a nice little RTS for android awhile back and thought I'd share or see if anyone else has gave it a try, anyway its called Rusted Warfare<-(click for description and video). It's got meh graphics but pretty fun and fast paced gameplay, reminiscent of TA and some other classics. It's in Alpha still, I believe, but it has an active developer and supports multiplayer (over IP for now) so you can play with a friend.

Also, anyone else play any noteworthy RTS for Android?

RTS means not turn based.

As for rusted warfare, not sure but the unit variety doesn't seem to be there, it looks like they're all the same with incremental upgrades.

On iOS there's Land Air Sea Warfare which is a LOT like TA but I don't think it's on Android.

Yea i do wish there was more units/variety but I'm also pretty sure the Dev has a lot more planned like t2 units, reclaiming wrecks, and repairing units and I can confirm no land air sea warfare for android

what's stopping spring from being compiled on android? i was meaning to try and see what compiler messages would pop up, but never took the time... is it the third party libraries that are hard to port, or?

yeah, it would be libs i guess. does it have full OpenGL, or just that mobile version? SDL?
is it possible to put non-Java stuff on there? just with hacks?

Not sure about opengl beyond that it at least supports openGL ES. It also supports native c++ through its NDK (although limited if I remember correctly, it may have changed also). As far as libraries go, I don't believe stock android would ever have the necessary libs but I do believe its possible.
