    I just realized that I might have been getting confused with this Android app made with Smart Mobile Studio!

    If you were wondering how the Smart Mobile Studio made an Android app...PhoneGap was used to convert the webpage version to an android app

    Sounds like a great Pascal Gamer article to me.

    Not yet, I'm still adding stuff, and cleaning up the Java wrapper.
    There is not much Java (less than 50 lines, including blanks & lines with only a squigly), but I've been tweaking the Android WebView option. PhoneGap doesn't really cut it for a game on Android, due to bugs in the Android 2.x browsers: things like scrolling & pinch-to-zoom can only be disabled on the Java side (for iOS, the viewport meta works perfectly AFAICT).

    Performance is more complicated as there is a wild variety of devices, it runs at 30FPS on my HTC Desire, but I've add some issues on older phones and tablets (apparently some Android tablets don't have the hardware acceleration enabled). And need to find time to package the app (make the icon, marketplace graphics, etc.).

    But it's coming

    Thanks for the update Eric

    For those that want to give it a try, it's now on the Chrome Web Store

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...hbpicjdhoncgkj

    And Android marketplace

    https://market.android.com/details?i...ols.nickeliron

    it even has a minimal webpage for it

    http://delphitools.info/android/nickel-iron/

    Next in the list, looking at adding global high-scores, & achievements. Not sure what service to use, OpenFeint doesn't seem to have a RESTful API for posting scores (only for reading), otherwise I would have used it (could do my own global high-score server, but where would the fun be? ;-))

    Is there any chance you could send me the missile command .apk file? The android market says it is incompatible with my device, and I would still like to test it

    Sent. The only requirement is Android 2.2+ (Froyo) though.
