I wonder how well the nearby explorer gps app is doing sales wise? that
is an app for blind people, a gps app though. and its android only. I
did read though that overall for sighted people android is more popular
than IOS.

Hello Josh:
Well, I sincerely doubt Android has more blind users than Mac OS, but
even if true there are a number of technical issues. The primary one
is Android apps are written in Java and BGT was written in C++. So to
begin with BGT would likely have to be rewritten from the ground up in
Java which is not a small or minor feat. The Angelscript library as
far as I know was not written for mobile platforms like Android either
meaning that it too would need to be ported to Android as well. In
short, it is not so simple or as easy as you think it is to port BGT
from Windows to an Android phone.
Besides that selling audio games of any kind on Android has been a
commercial failure from all I have heard. For instance, Liam released
a game Audio Archery for Android and iPhone. It sold 80 copies for
Android and over a thousand for iPhone. That alone proves Android,
while an emerging technology for the blind, is a pretty poor platform
for selling products right now. the market just is not there yet.
Cheers!

popular platform indeed way way more so than mac is. It would be fun to
