hello,

are there any plans to port TWL to Android ? in theory it should be possible and straight forward. provide an OpenGL-ES based renderer and bridge Android GUI events to TWL.

You are free to port it. I don't have such plans.

There are a number of desktop/android abstraction projects that allow common codebase (sound,input,opengl) for deploying to both platforms. So far none using GL ui like TWL. I'm working on such a project that's still in infancy. TWL in on my todo list

cool, that's good news

TWL is now supported on Android using the libgdx library and a special TWL-android.jar (available on the TWL website) which replaces some Java APIs not available on Android (like java.beans.*).

Naming it TWL-android.jar is a little odd... it doesn't contain the LWJGL renderer, so it makes sense to use any time you are using a non-LWJGL renderer (eg, JOGL or libgdx on the desktop).

But it also contains the restricted beans library. So it's not easily usable on J2SE platforms.

One question from my side.

I want to port my game to the android platform. But if I change the TWL.jar with the TWL-Android.jar I can't use the LWJGL Renderer in the TWLStateBasedGame. What do I have to do?!

a) You should not hijack old threads
b) you need to provide another Renderer implementation which uses the OpenGL-ES classes of Android

Ok, I thought it would be better if I post my question here because it's the same topic and I do not want to split this up.

So which renderer do you recommend ?!
