How long until we get a mobile version of Stars! that can play on my Droid? Let's get to work people!

That might be viewed with interest by some, but how many Android devices has a screen resolution that would allow a Windows application to be effectively used ?

There is a DOSBox for Android, so you could theoretically use the win3.11 thingy

If only there was a Java library for the game files...

Well technically you can compile to native code with an SDK so you don't need Java. However, I have had no luck finding a useful enough DOSBOX to install windows into (as if its worth trying!) My only success has been in a VNC Viewer, but its really annoying to try and play in that setting.
I suppose it would be possible to program something you could log in on and run windows MACROS or something that could take a screen shot of the game and send it to you, or pull out all the battle text and send it to you. Maybe it could take several screen shots and send you one on request (Different planets, fleets, ETC.) using the macros that you prebuild. I mean you don't actually want to finish up a turn while on your android, you just want to think about all the available data for a little. If I only had the time.

A good way to stop worrying about the surgery.
All the best.
As for the droid stars, I think I want a version too.
I'm getting a Sony Ericsson Arc pretty soon <3.
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator
