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 On Friday, December 28, 2012

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

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

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

Hi Bob, The SDK is the lower-level C++ platform and the engine is a game engine written on top of the SDK that provides all the high level things a game developer would want like animation, scripting, resource management, etc Robert Green DIY at http://www.rbgrn.net/ On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at

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

The mobile builds and projects are only available in the purchased version. The free dev kit is just Windows and OSX. 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

Cool. Maybe you could put an app in the Android Market that demos your new engine? This would make it easier for us to see what it can do. On Tuesday, January 1, 2013 11:57:53 AM UTC-6, Robert Green wrote: Thanks bob! That game was from before BatteryTech and was the reason we

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

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
