Android version

Is it possible to port Pixelorama to Android?

This is likely feasible from a technical standpoint, but the UI isn't designed to be used on a small screen. It will also likely drain the device's battery until Godot's low-processor mode is implemented on mobile platforms.

Screen is not small if it's a tablet.

@axredneck In this case, it still has to be designed to be used with a touchscreen rather than a keyboard and mouse 🙂

This implies the need for larger buttons, among other things.

I actually did some Android experiments yesterday. The UI is indeed very small, but I think this can be fixed. Not sure how but we would eventually figure it out. The real issue is the FileDialog nodes. No matter how much I've tried, I can't open and/or save files in Android.

And it need to support a stylus (stick) for Samsung Galaxy Nodes 🤣
Or morden iPad sticks)

@OverloadedOrama does it have a permission to save files?

@OverloadedOrama does it have a permission to save files?

It's been a while since I last tested it, but last time I checked I did give permission to save and load files. I think they're the "Read External Storage" and "Write External Storage" permissions found in Godot's Android export settings.

Hy, i just stumbled upon this discussion, to save something we also need to use OS.request_permissions() at-leat once in code to enable those permissions. I made a "Diary" app using Godot that lets the user save his diary on phone storage in form of .txt files.
The source code of the app is available (Here!) hope it helps.

[SergReminder]

Yes, it helps

Just note that all chromebooks now work with android apps, and you can publish in a way like krita's highly adored android port, that only allows it to work on those devices.

You can simply run Pixelorama from browser via the itch.io
I am viewing this on Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 and the UI is use able without any issues. Stylus works too except for the buttons.
