Mobile game?

[Memeboiii]

Is there any chance that a mobile game, probably downloadable, will ever come into existence? I have absolutely no technical skills to make this happen but I am willing to put my money where my mouth is.

How mobile? I think Freeciv is available on Android.

There is an unofficial port of Freeciv for Android, although it's lagging behind. A native iOS app will probably never happen because of legal requirements for App Store apps.

I created a fork of this android project to add more features, and I just fixed some lagging issues.

This app is not ready for a release because the tech tree is broken, but the "set tech goal" feature works, the app is usable, I play with it, and I use an image file to view the tech tree: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... y_tree.png

To create an apk, checkout the source code, install Android SDK and Android NDK r12b, edit configure_project.sh to update the sdk_dir and ndk_dir variables, put android, adb and ndk-build in your PATH, and run:
pip install python-for-android
(this installs the "p4a" program)
then:
./configure_project.sh
make -C android debugapk

If you want, I can also provide an APK.
