running PyWeek games on Android (specially Ouya)

nitrofurano on 2013/05/16 18:21

Did someone tried to package PyWeek games to run on Android, and specially on Ouya?

How can we do that, and what on the games needs to be changed/adapted? Maybe we need to use PGS4A ( http://pygame.renpy.org/ ) or Python-for-Android ( https://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/ )?

Are here some experiences or case studies to be shared, and perhaps some ready games or templates? :)

thanks! :)

In Pyweek 19 I started with an Android project with PGS4A, because of lack of time i didn't finish a game but I've been tinkering with Ouya and managed to get full controller support

Basicly you won't need to do a lot to port a pygame game to Ouya: add a few lines to import the Android package and change the control bindings ( map them through Java/PyJNIus)
