[android-developers] Re: New OpenGL ES 2.0 Game Engine Option

[Daniele Segato]

Apparently my question has been already replied:

http://www.batterytechsdk.com/content/1089-official-linux-support
You should upgrade the homepage / doc ;)


So I move to the next question: is it compatible with Gradle and Android 
Studio?

Still there's a problem of not being able to evaluate it from Linux :) and 
probably for this reason I'll not be able to use it for the project I'm 
working on ;)

Daniele Segato

[Daniele Segato]

Hi,

your SDK seems interesting but I don't see support for developing in Linux.

Seems weird to me since it's easier to compile with NDK on Linux then in 
Windows (for example).

Is there a way to develop for Android on Linux using your SDK?

Regards,
Daniele

Re: [android-developers] Re: New OpenGL ES 2.0 Game Engine Option

[Robert Green]

Hi Bob,

You're looking at the SDK documentation, which is used to write an
application in C++.  You don't need any of that to evaluate the engine, but
should you choose to use it later and build the engine for Android, the end
product is an .so which is all of the compiled SDK and Engine C++ code and
is used by the included Java files for the engine project.

Please find the engine documentation at
www.batterytechsdk.com/engine-documentation

Thanks

 If it works in your desktop build, it'll work on the device with the
 exception of non power-of-two images.  On mobile you're just testing
 performance and multitouch input before you're ready to release or
 integrate any 3rd party products.

Ok, thanks.  BTW, I'm confused about something.

I'm looking at the project named "batterytech" here:

http://www.batterytechsdk.com/sdk-documentation/group___eclipse_setup.html

Can you tell me what the end product is of building that?  Is it a .so file 
or .jar or something?

How do the other projects link to the "batterytech" project?

 When you're just developing your game, before device testing, you don't
 need anything for Android.  It runs standalone on Windows and OSX.

Can you tell me where to find the .so file?


I don't see it in your two zip files.

Re: [android-developers] Re: New OpenGL ES 2.0 Game Engine Option

[Robert Green]

If you don't want to modify the engine itself you can just copy the .so
files and you don't need NDK.  If you want to change any of the C/C++ code
in the engine, you'll need NDK to rebuild it for Android.

When you're just developing your game, before device testing, you don't
need anything for Android.  It runs standalone on Windows and OSX.

Hi Bob,

There are a number of games already available using BatteryTech Engine that
show off some of the basic capabilities, then we do include an APK of our
demo in the engine download so that you can try it out on your device.
 We'll be posting that to the market next week as well, but it is available
now in the archive.

Here are a few games using it if you want to take a peek at them:

Thanks bob!  That game was from before BatteryTech and was the reason we
built a proper game engine.

 all you have to do is add in the format support files to either the engine

 supported by Open Asset Importer is FBX, but autodesk has good FBX to DAE
 conversion utilities that work, so there is that option.

Thanks.

By the way, I tried your Deadly Chambers game.  It is impressive.  I like 
how the guy's name is Chambers.  Very funny.

[android-developers] Re: New OpenGL ES 2.0 Game Engine Option

[Robert Green]

Yes, texture mapping is fairly standard and is very well supported.

BAI means "Binary Asset Import" and is a compact memory-safe format of the 
internal structure of the open asset importer library.  We did create it 
ourselves but it's simple, easy to maintain and extend and fully compatible 
with version 2 of that library, which is why you can easily add more 
formats to the engine.

Thanks.


Also,


Does it support texture-mapped models?


And, is the BAI format your own invention?

Out of the box it supports OBJ for static geometry and Collada (DAE) for 
static and animated models.  We have a utility that will convert either of 
those to a binary format called BAI to go to production because it's 
smaller and loads faster.  The engine uses a library called Open Asset 
Import which supports 30+ formats, so if you want more formats supported, 
all you have to do is add in the format support files to either the engine 
or the BAI conversion utility.  I think the only format that isn't 
supported by Open Asset Importer is FBX, but autodesk has good FBX to DAE 
conversion utilities that work, so there is that option.
