help with the last stage of application development on android

#1 Post by Andredron »

Good afternoon, being away from the computer, I had the idea to develop a number of activities so that android would become a platform for development.

to work with scripts, I use this program.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... l=ru&gl=US


And when the code is written, the question arises: how to get android to run the exe application? Аnd another question, if you manage to launch, how to give the program the opportunity to create ready-made games on android and, for example, Windows?

and scrolling through the reddit page, I saw a video where a guy made a Linux virtual machine in his android

https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments ... n_android/

unfortunately, I do not know linux to use its method, so I began to look for options so that both linux and Windows could be. and I caught sight of a tool -limbo

https://github.com/limboemu/limbo

by downloading the newest version

https://github.com/limboemu/limbo/relea ... boEmulator

and the apk file with the name

limbo-android-x86-6.0.1-qemu-5.1....

and after downloading windows 10 image, and configuring it, I managed to run windows 10 on my android, these are the settings I have

but I have another problem, I can't allocate a folder in android so that the virtual machine considers it a new hard drive.

it has the ability to create a hard disk and set this hard disk from 1gb to 24gb, but I probably do something wrong, because when I log into my computer in a virtual machine, it only sees the c disk where Windows is installed.
this is necessary so that I can download the installation renpai to my phone, and transfer it to that folder, or, in extreme cases, develop (*ISO) an installation one and mount it on a virtual machine.

if it's not difficult, you can help to solve this problem, and it will be possible to develop games on android

I will be very grateful to those people who will be able to respond to me.

In general, Android's security means you can't access folders from another application. This is also why Android (and iOS) aren't suitable platforms for game devlopement.

At the expense of building distributions, one guy suggested a difficult solution to me.

We unpack the APK game renpy, we also change the game in it, BUT (!) you will need to rename everything so that at the beginning of each folder and file there is an "x-"
We pack everything back into the APK and with the help of some APKEditor we change the name, icon and put the signature.

we tried it turned out to run a script written on android, but of course this is considered a way for madmen.

of course, you can make a version or patch in the form of a mod, but....

in general, it's a pity that it doesn't work out.....
