This serves as a file to help others in building the C++ Android version for themselves. These instructions are what I figured out to get it to work for me, and should be kept up to date.

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.
|
|
|
|
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. Clone the SDL repository and place it next to where you've cloned the VVVVVV
|
|
repository. Make sure to check out SDL 2 and not the latest as of writing (SDL 3).
|
|
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.
