Development Environment
The code is currently developed using Eclipse with the ADT plugin. The current Android SDK used is 1.5. The development machine is an AMD Phenom 9750 @2.4GHz with 8Gig of RAM that I put together lately and a Macbook @2.4GHz 4Gig of Ram, running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and MacOSX respectively.
Problems
- Emulator speed. The emulator speed (Especially when using OpenGL/ES) is slow.
Planned Features
To be available
Other Tools
The game is being developed using Open Source Tools. Graphics and bitmaps are created using the GIMP paint program. Music is created using Audacity, Apple Garageband and OpenMPT tracker. Demo videos are created using CamStudio.
Media
The game uses images from Wikipedia. The soundtrack is songs I created using various programs. Usually the song changes every a few releases
Is there a working APK file out there somewhere? or does one have to roll his own?
An apk supporting version 1.0 of the android SDK is not available. However the latest version of the subversion code runs under 1.0 SDK. So you have to grab the source and build the project on eclipse, sign it etc. Since the code is under the apache license, you can do that.
A signed apk suitable for installation in a real device is now found on the downloads list.
