    Try updating your graphics driver. I'm not sure why you would be missing opengl...

    Yes and no. Yes: if application written in the NDK. No: if the application is written with the SDK (a.k.a. Java)

    OK, so there's a separate way of handling touch, but I can't just stub it into the mouse because MouseState is read-only. I can replace MouseState with another abstraction to support both, but it might affect a lot of code. I'll give it a shot.

    We would also really need a larger UI, especially for an 8 inch screen...

    Also great work! I cannot believe how far this project has come since 2-3 years ago. I have high hopes we will get our game back :D Thank you Rhys for all your hard work :)

    He means before Tigris is released (I still think #TigrisTime is good).

    Just pushed a build with preliminary touch support. Two finger swipe to scroll (works differently from right click scroll, it's more like a web browser/dota "grab" scroll)... It should probably work?

    I mean before the simulator has online capabilities. Would kind of suck to not be able to play this for a while longer when it's working and available.

    *fangirling* My laptop is a conviertable. So I can test this out too.

    The scrolling isn't elastic, so it may seem a bit harsh on a touch screen. I can fix this later.

    #39 from master branch, right?

    Nothing changed, to be honest. Tapping on the screen results in moving a virtual, non-existent cursor and hovering random stuff. How about you, Zack?

    Yup, it was behaving in exactly the same way. Some apps on Windows behave in this weird way, kind of a "fallback retarded touch screen support" thing. One tap - hovering, double tap - pressing. (though buttons like "Simantics..." and Debug" won't respond even when double-tapping). It's worth adding that for no reason I can't type anything in text fields using touch keyboard - but backspace works... Um, ok. :D

    For example, FTL does exactly the same thing - which is kinda disappointing, I always thought this game would be awesome to play on a tablet and there is a really good iPad port AFAIK.

    I always hoped they would take a similar approach to SimCity for iPhone (screenshot below) and just port the TS1 engine over to the mobile.

    So like Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD...
    Basically, what they should be doing is modifying the game so that it can be built with ARM (instead of creating a new one like the Sonic games) and then selling The Sims 1 for £2.[/quote]

    Well, there's literally no way for me to test this...
    Can you try again? Looks like all the touches were registering as right clicks, but I'm not sure if that was the only problem. Build should be up.

    If it's supposed to work like this: dragging at the edge scrolls the screen until you tap somewhere else or drag away from the edge - then it's working. But I guess it was exactly like this before. Buttons still don't respond correctly.

    That's what I mean by port. I said TS1-like since smartphones weren't as powerful as they were now so it'd be a bit stripped down but it'd still be more functional then EA's.
