There are a lot of different phone models so we need your feedback to know if there are problems. Please post any issue on the forum.

The Pandora and the GCW-Zero

Therefore, the list of (offically) supported systems is now: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, Amiga OS 4, Android, Pandora, GCW-Zero.

We are also thinking of an iOS port with touchscreen gameplay but this will take time. Not only we have to upgrade the engine and the Lua API to handle the mouse and the touchscreens, but we also need to completely rework the gameplay in the case when no physical button is available. So how do we do right now for the Android version? We actually use a trick: the SDL 1.2 port of Android adds virtual buttons to the screen, that are mapped to SDL keyboard keys.
