Android Support

[Andru]

New features:
- playing sounds and music(streaming from memory) via OpenAL
- headers and compiled Chipmunk(ARMv5 version with soft-float is quite slow, so I will try to build it for ARMv6 with VFPv2 and test later)
- touch input(but I need some device with real multi-touch to test my code)

But due to some FreePascal incompatibilities with Android it's quite hard to make some progress in low-level parts of this port, e.g. unit cthreads doesn't work so I need to use my own unit with pthreads.

Can you share with me, how you managed to get OpenAL working on Android? I believe it is not part of the NDK. Did you build OpenAL yourself from source?

Thanks

[Andru]

I use this fork.

why Zengl dosen't have a Net Feature Till now ?

Because I never do things "for fun" in which I'm not interested

Very interesting. Good to see they made OpenAL work on android.

Another question: You probably encountered some problems while you made ZenGL ready for android. Can you tell me how you debugged your code? I've been looking for a good way to do it, but the only method I know is just to write to the log. Did you find any other way to catch bugs on android?

I haven't tried this, but I didn't tried it and with iOS And yes, currently I use only logging. But as I know, debugging even C/C++ code is not so simple.
