A New Adventure Awaits
Although we regret to inform you that we won’t be participating in Ludum Dare 36 this weekend, we have something even more exciting planned for you next week. Our team at Techal is thrilled to announce that we will be live streaming the porting of Sparky, our game engine, to Android!
Sparky on Android
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Sparky, it is a game engine that we have been diligently working on for quite some time. The engine supports both DirectX and OpenGL and has proven to be a powerful tool in game development. With Sparky, we aim to provide a seamless experience for developers who want to create stunning and immersive games.
Porting Sparky to Android
Next weekend, on Saturday, the 3rd of September, at 9:00 AM Australian Eastern Standard Time, we will commence our live stream on Twitch.tv/Theano. We highly recommend that you follow us on Twitter (@Theano) to stay up to date with all the latest information and any potential changes to the stream schedule.
A Educational Experience
Throughout the live stream, you will witness firsthand how a C++ game engine, initially developed for Windows, can be successfully ported to Android. This presents a unique opportunity for all game developers, especially those who have been using Java for Android game development. By exploring native code, you can significantly enhance the performance of your games while sharing the same codebase between iOS and Android platforms.
FAQs
Q1: Will the stream be available for viewing after the live session?
Yes! We will make sure to archive the stream so that you can revisit it later at your convenience.
Q2: How long do you anticipate the porting process to take?
The duration of the stream will depend on how complex the porting process turns out to be. We expect it to take a significant amount of time, but we are committed to completing it in one sitting.
Q3: Can we expect additional videos related to the porting process?
We will do our best to provide additional videos on our YouTube channel, Techal Archive, if the stream proves to be of high quality and informative.
Conclusion
There you have it, tech enthusiasts and developers! We apologize for not participating in Ludum Dare 36 this time, but we promise that the porting of Sparky to Android will be an equally thrilling and educational experience.
