you guys may like to know Im doing a naval game as my new project, its looking like its going to be a good one, I am thinking a WitPAE type game, I am working on the supply lines as we speak, just about to add auto convoys, I have objectives for A.I. done, and you can put any of your ships under A.I. control. I have not done air yet but the work im doing will be a kind of template to add planes, so im not behind on air.

This looks really neat.  Have you thought of making games like this that will work on Android like Kindle Fire?  I'm unlikely to play something like this on my PC where I have games that are similar, but I'd definitely play this on a tablet.

thats a great thought! my compiler say it can build for android, I never thought of it untill now, but i would have to test it out on a tablet, so i need to buy one first, I can try compiling for android if you would like to test it? i dont know if the mouse control is the same, i may have to code it but it may work. im off to compile now, i will report back on its outcome.

No it wont build on android, maybe something to look into though.

I had a lot of error checking done , counting aircraft is now the last thing i ever want to do again :) seems to be finished. I am going to make a map editor so i can use historical maps.

ok i tried to make a android version, but failed, but occured to me you could play on a windows tablet like a surface pro or something, i know most people wont have one but i also owned a cheap windows tablet a while back, its an idea anyway

Very interesting game.  I noticed that there is no sound to those videos you posted.  In any case I've got this on my watchlist.   :)

hi, I have not got a video recorder that adds sound, but the game only has basic gunfire sounds, getting sound thats royalty frree can be a problem, the rule is if you dont make it dont use it.

Hey Crowdrake, I had some time this evening to try to install the android version of your game but I couldn't get it to install.  I'm using a Kindle Fire 10, and they can be pretty finicky about installing apps that don't come from the Amazon appstore. 

I'll do some Googling and see if there's a workaround I missed, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to install properly on my tablet.

Thanks Toonces for trying,I think you have a setting to allow inknown sources, and its the APK file you install not the zip,  it works on my emulator but in the real world I dont know, and I think it compiled for android 11 so I dont know if that will work either, not got an android device so i cant test but thanks again Toonces

I was able to unzip it with a RAR app, but after I try to install it does the little line like it's installing but then says, "App did not install" or "not installed" or something of that nature.

I Googled it last night and I think you're right that it might be a permissions setting.  I'll try messing with it some more and see if that's it and report back.
