Default Re: WinSPMBT Android?

You cannot just port WinSPMBT to a tablet PC version. The whole GUI would need to be done from scrach, also other stuff like I/O. And with that legacy code line it would be just a nightmare.

The only reasonable approach would be to create a completely new game, decouple the engine from the UI so that you can port it more easily to different platforms. But even then I heavily doubt that you would earn money with it. Look at the games in the android / iOS market.

So at the end you do this in you spare time or if you do not need to earn money. And judging the complexity of WinSpmt you'd need a bunch of dedicated people doing this; working on it for years!

Thanks Hawk66.
I suppose the "years" part really puts it into perspective ito what needs to be done. By the time it is complete Android would be old news.

Pity.
