Iknow that the forum is already abrave man
who wants to do the SE for android but its
version somehow does not reflect the space
engine. Iwanted to ask if spaceengineer
doing something in this direction either, or at least thought about it to makeSpace
Engine on android phones. myphone is a
ZTEBlade G 2x1.2GHz dual-core processor
and 512MB of ram Ithink alittle slimmer
version (I'm talking about graphics) SE
could go on the phone. But all in all I'm not
here decide. But Iadmit that Iwould have
Space Engine on the phone xD

That was not SE for android, that was a totally separate and unrelated program.

No.

SE would definitely not work on that phone, it is not nearly powerful enough. SE requires more than anything proper Nvidia or AMD graphics hardware, and that is something that no phone has or will have anytime soon.

It lags a lot on my PC, so a version for Android would run 0.001 FPS on my smartphone biggrin

Isn't the determining factor the right OpenGL support rather than the right vendor? (disregarding the host architecture, that is likely ARM, not x86)

I've been using a Solar System live background on my android devices, and the rendering is smooth even on my 1920x1080 phone without any noticeable impact on battery life. Of course, rendering some planets (probably with ring shadows in the textures) in a fixed celestial sphere is something different than what SE does. The graphics capabilities of my phone is much higher than that of the PC I used a year ago, and we shall perhaps not underestimate what ARM based systems will be capable of in the near future.

It's a combination of right OpenGL support, right hardware, and good drivers. Only Nvidia and AMD offers all three, with Nvidia arguably having the best drivers recently. The difference in driver quality is why Intel chips have so many problems with SE compared to Nvidia and AMD.

djgspee, there won't be a Space Engine for any mobile phone anytime soon...
and even with such simplified interface, it would be very hard to work with, unless it were an iPad app or such.



I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

The interface is the smallest problem involved.

The porting and slimming-down of all the procedural generation code would be a mammoth task.
