There is a work-in-progress port to Android of OpenXcom here: github link
I just want to play
Ok, so if you're too lazy to build it ;) and just want to give it a try, here are the steps you should follow:
- Get the beta apk from here and install (you'll have to trust me on this, but it only asks for filesystem access)
- Get the OpenXcom data + extra music (tested with original ogg from Volutar). Unzip all of this in your phone under /storage/sdcard0/openxcom (you should have a /sdcard simlink, so /sdcard/openxcom should work too). If you have an external sd card, you can also place it there (/storage/extSdCard/openxcom).
- You also need a copy of the original data (you can get that in many places if you don't have it, like steam). Copy the following folders in the same place (/sdcard/openxcom/data): GEODATA GEOGRAPH MAPS ROUTES SOUND TERRAIN UFOGRAPH UFOINTRO UNITS
- Finally, and this is also important, you have to erase or rename the file SOUND/GM.CAT, as otherwise the game will attempt to use the original midi sound which does not work yet in android.
Differences with PC version (battlescape)
- Path preview is enabled by default
- Shoot works in the same way as path preview, first press to aim, second to shoot
- Phone back button acts as right button (quits shooting mode, for instance)
- Swipe map to scroll
- Swipe from selected soldier to make him turn
Known issues
- Don't leave the game while in text enter mode. When going back, it won't reappear and you'll be stuck editing the text.
- Music keeps playing when the app is running on background
- On a few devices, the colors appear wrong (shades of pink). It can be worked around by disabling the 'hardware overlay' in 'developer settings'
- Back button functionality is missing in some places
Changelog
- beta2(r1) (21/02/14)
- Update to upstream 0d04dcc
- Update SDL2 to 8225
- Exiting the app now works (thanks to SDL update)
- Fixes #460 (exit units stats page with back button)
