I like that idea, altough it would come with some compatibility problems.

Given what AliensRL is currently written in... this is not likely to happen in the foreseeable future.

There is a Pascal wrapper for use in Android, but I'm not sure how well it works. You can get it for freepascal and lazarus, plus AGK (App game kit) ties in with it fairly well. Supposedly.

But then there's a fair bit of hassle in changing the UI, the input/control mechanisms, getting Valkyrie to not die in the wrapper, plus all the sound issues that will pop up between Pascal/the wrapper/Android SDK.

So it's in theory doable. But so are a lot of things. They just might not be worth the effort.

If someone ports DiabloRL to Android (the source of DiabloRL is open), I'll port AliensRL to Android myself.
