Recently I discovered that a guy name pelya did an Android port of the game using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.libsdl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">SDL libary<\/a>. And since I\u00b4m a more or less proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab for a while I decided to give it a try. Right after starting the game one very big problem occured. The controls (and the user interface) hadn\u00b4t been redesigned to be used with a touch device (with probably a much smaller screen than a pc has) so the game was pretty unplayable. I was a bit sad about that so I headed over to good old friend Google.<\/p>\n<p>I found a nice solution for the problem by getting my hands on a Logitech Bluetooth Traveler Mouse and connected it to my Galaxy Tab. Android is so flexible that this worked by only 3 finger touches (haaa&#8230;on a touch device you can\u00b4t say clicks, can you ?) and here\u00b4s the video result for you. There\u00b4s still some work to do to make the game really well playable. For example right now you can\u00b4t access more than a 1-layer menu because Android can\u00b4t differ between a mouse click and a mouse click and hold. Pelya &#8211; the guy who did the Android port &#8211; optimized the SDL configuration already after I gave him a lead but right now SDL doesn\u00b4t seem to be capable of doing that kind of mouse emulation. But I think the OpenTTD community will soon have a version ready that will be optimized for mobile devices in any way.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime you can enjoy the video !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may know that I love Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OpenTTD).
