Android port for C++ version

This is not the other existing mobile version (which is a fork of the original Flash version). This is a port of the C++ desktop version, because the C++ version has gotten many improvements since the source release (along with Flash being deprecated in general).

How to Build

The recommended way is to install Android Studio and Maven. These instructions are for SDL 2.30.8; adapt your SDL version accordingly.

  1. Place a copy of data.zip in desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/app/src/main/assets/. (If the assets/ folder doesn't exist, then create it.)

  2. Obtain the SDL 2.30.8 Maven package. As of writing, SDL currently does not publish Maven packages, so here is one way to obtain them (other methods are possible):

    1. Download the SDL 2.30.8 source code.
    2. Run the build-scripts/android-prefab.sh script in the SDL repository.
    3. After building, run mvn install:install-file -Dfile=build-android-prefab/prefab-2.30.8/SDL2-2.30.8.aar -DpomFile=build-android-prefab/prefab-2.30.8/SDL2-2.30.8.pom to install it to Maven Local.

  3. Open the desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/ folder in Android Studio.

  4. Click 'Build'.

How to Install and Play

After building, go to desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/app/build/outputs/apk/, copy the APK of the appropriate architecture to your device, and install it.

Touchscreen support is currently not implemented, so you will need to connect a keyboard or controller to your device in order to play the game.
