We can't be having saves be corrupted for a game like this. APP BUGFIX: Save games are no longer being corrupted! This was the highest thing to fix on my list.Here is a list of the changes I've made from the other app:

At first I thought Angband Variants had been removed from the play store, but it appears some people still see it, so perhaps my Android version was upgraded to a version past what it allowed? For now I'll keep going and plan on releasing it when it's stable enough. I've made progress since my initial post. Thoughts? Does anyone other than me actually want this?Įdit: It's live, download it from the Play Store here! I usually never finish personal projects, but this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and since I'm this close already, I can't imagine that I will completely abandon it. I don't really have a point to this post other than bringing awareness to my little project, and welcoming any tips or suggestions given my situation.

Obviously I would release it for free as well, according to the license.

I have no idea how to release anything on Google Play, though I imagine it can't be too difficult, and I imagine there must be some type of licensing info I have to include. If you're interested in the extra nerdy info, I'm using Visual Studio (I know I know, not the usual IDE) and an android Native Activity project since the source is in C, but I also need the Java files from the repository. I downloaded the source code for Angdroid from the Google code repository and just plugged Sil's latest source into it when I figured out how the build worked. There are some bugs, like savefiles don't seem to be loading properly, and other minor things I want to fix before I 'release' it. The GOOD news is that I already have a compiled and mostly working version of Sil 1.3 on my phone. The BAD news is that I've never even looked at Android development before, and right off the bat I can see the development process is much different than what I'm used to, and I know for sure I'm going to overlook something.

But of course, it bugs me to play on a version other than the latest and greatest, so, being a software developer myself, I started looking into ways to get Sil 1.3 compiled. As some of you may know, Sil 1.1.1 can be currently played on Android via the app 'Angband Variants' and setting the plugin to Sil. However, I do like access to them, namely on my android phone so I can pull it up and play anytime. For example, I haven't really got past the 5th depth of any dungeon roguelike that I know of Just FYI, I'm not exactly 'new' per se to roguelikes (I've spent some time in this, Nethack, FTL, etc), but I'm by no means good at them.
