FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I can test this apps on my SmartQ Z Watch (MIPS).
1x1Ghz, 512 MB RAM
Unpack: all work!
Game menu... All work... small...
Games: LoL, game loading and apps closed.

Martin_Devil, as you're trying to run a arm version on mips I'm suprised you got that for ;-) I'm gonna provide a mips build for you to test soon

Thank you!
Another error: camera too chustvitelna and fast! There is an opportunity to turn the world upside down. Jump button and flight terrible, inventory low. The inventory and menu by approximately 20% more than you need!
On my watch (mips) screen 128*128 px, 140 dpi, LoL!)

And sapier, you can add faq to build your port on github?
And you can go to minetest 0.4.9.3? 0.4.1 very old :( , i think.

Minetest-release_20140613.apk this sounds up-to-date.

I install mips on my watch.
Work, very big menu, inventory and all.
Bug:
Cloud. You can delete cloud? Big lugs.
Dpi, on clock 160, i use 140.
Control. Control very down, inventoryes icon very small, inv slot, delete 5slots. 3-5 slots... Screen very small.
P.S. Game on clock is bad idea, android on clock... VERY BAD IDEA.

Test 06.16 arm on my Samsung Vibrant aka Galaxy S (dpi 220, i use 200. Ram 512, 1x1Ghz (i use 1.3 Ghz).
On new build all gui is normal, thank (on 13 build menu and inv - very big size).
You fix more bug.
And. Game very lugs, camera very-very speed rotate, please, fix.
I tested more conf. On maxfps 15, max range nodes 25, min 3, 2D cloud game best speed!
... ... ...
Sorry, man English is very-very bad...

if your rotation speed is to fast try changing the mouse_sensitivity = 0.2 setting

sapier wrote:if your rotation speed is to fast try changing the mouse_sensitivity = 0.2 setting

I use 0.1, perfectly.
Please, rebuild mips and send me. Thank.

what's wrong with the mips build in main post?

Just checking in with your progress using this phone again:
Minetest-release_20140616.apk

Kyocera Event
Physical size: 3.5 inches
Resolution: 320 x 480 pixels
Pixel density: 165 ppi
Technology: IPS LCD
Colors: 16 777 216
System chip: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655
Processor: Single core, 1000 MHz, Scorpion
Graphics processor: Adreno 205
System memory: 512 MB RAM

Things are running surprisingly well on this under-powered excuse for a phone. The FPS are 5-10 depending on what is going on. But movement and play is fluid and enjoyable. Not the slide show frame rate from the earlier builds. Haven't had the chance to explore too much as it's one of my boy's phone and he doesn't give it up easily. Main menu is auto sized to fit the display size properly. Still hard to hit the check boxes correctly in settings, but I couldn't expect any better. My biggest gripe has been resolved. The dialog that opens when trying to leave a multiplayer game is now centered correctly and sized so all the buttons are accessible. So now game can return to menu or OS without force closing (thanks for listening).

Exiting from the default inventory uses the back button to exit correctly. But Unified Inventory will not exit. I may not know what gestures to use to exit, but once opened, I've had to force close the app because once the inventory is opened... there is no returning to the game.

Also. I can't seem to craft in default inventory. I can't figure out how to use part of a stack of items. I can only drop all of one item in a square. Don't know if it's me not knowing how or if its a bug.

I've tried to not be too quick to judge the controls as I am not a fan of gaming on a phone because of the size. But I'm concluding the forward arrow key being nestled between the left and right is not working well for my thumb. I think the forward button should be placed more in front (top). I know you are trying to save screen real estate in smaller devices, but I think its too crowded in a smaller device. Larger, maybe more transparent would still be very playable and usable with this device. Just my opinion though
Thanks for all the hard work!

Exiting a Formspec (e.g. Inventory): double tap outside the inventory
Placing a single element from a stack:
1) touch stack,
2) stay on tablet with this finger
3) move this finger to where you wanna place a single element
4) tab with ANOTHER finger somewhere on screen while still having the first one where to place
5) move to second location to place a single element
..

Thanks sapier, very helpful.
Couldn't test exiting the Unified Inventory formspec as there is no outside in this case. In fact I've noticed some of the items on the edge aren't showing completely as there just isn't enough room. Unfortunate, but likely unrelated to your builds so I won't mention again :)
Is there some sort of changelog going somewhere so one can test/try and give feedback on changes that have been focused on? Or are you content with what little data is brought up by chance in this thread?

There's no changelog as there have been way to many changes by now. As things seem to settle down recently I guess it's time to start documenting the changes.

Sorry to everyone downloading 20140621 prior fixing the wrong link, actually the file called _mips was the mips build, now it's correct.

I need to try this, haven't been able to use mine test much from a lack of a useless computer

I have a problem on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. I told about it in this discussion but stu just forgot about me. I hope that this conversation will be more productive.

hunterdelyx1 this looks like something I've seen on emulator too. I didn't integrate the fix because it's been quite ugly and I never heared about it on a real device. I'll add it for next version.

Thanks, sapier. I'll wait.

I downgrade my watch (MIPS) on Android 4.1 (earlier Android 4.4).
16 and 21 build don't work. Please, look this photo:


Please, fix this. I look black screen... And all.
Menu very big (inventories normal size!).
I wait your new build, thank.
... ... ...
Changelog - best idea).

can you do some digging on the black screen issue? this looks like a situation where you spawned inside a node, e.g. a tree

Possible. sapier, bring back UI in the original minetest. Do stu was great, and also the screen was not too big on some devices!
Edit:
Please, change 3D clouds to 2D standard. Add options del clouds (very lags).
And look this video (i record now):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x766pt2mpop3j ... 173023.mp4
day/night...day/night. Bug) Please, fixed.
And gamemenu, please, small menu on -20%. Thank.

@Martin_Devil
Sorry don't understand what you wanna tell me with your first sentence :-(

The day night bug seems to affect mips too ... I'm gonna have a look at it.
Sorry but 3d clouds aren't an issue for most devices, those where they are, you can disable them manually.
And last issue ... menus size ... are you sure you'll be able to use it if it's gonna be even more small? Well playing on a smart watch might already be quite special :-)

@hunterdelyx1
Latest version should fix your issue please give feedback. Thanks!

How to create multiple worlds? Verni interface as in mine test for pc.
On mips 3d cloud... And 2d cloud is bad idea. Mips - very weak devise.
Menu. 20% menu Does not fit on the screen.
And control on game very small. 10 inventory slot too much, make 5.

On my Galaxy S. NEW BUILD - BEST PERFORMANSE, THANK!
End on game very small control. Look.

Sorry can't look at that screenshot it's private.

Guess we need a special menu for devices with extra small screens like your watch ... sorry but that's gonna have to wait till next version

Yeah, sapier, it works now! Thanks!

I have about 25-30 fps on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in singleplayer. I think it will be better on the external server.

Well.
A screenshot from my Galaxy S, there are also very small. Why not take part stu? He did a great game control dpi, very convenient!

New (22) mips end scanning end closed. On 21 build all work.

I invited stu to join forces but by now he didn't want to do so. He's still free to do. And of course he's welcome.
edit1:
IT may be a little bit late to replace controls for 0.4.10 but thats just first version. There's gonna be a lot to improve so why not controls Google.
