Android Port of LÖVE, the awesome 2D game engine LÖVE (http://love2d.org) Copyright (c) 2013-2014 Martin Felis martin@fysx.org
For detailed instructions please refer to the wiki at https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/wiki/Home.
You can download pre-built Android packages from https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/downloads that allow you to run .love files by opening them using a file manager of your choice.
Install the Android NDK and the Android SDK with SDK API 23, set the
environment variables ANDROID_NDK, ANDROID_SDK, and
ANDROID_HOME and run
ndk-build -j4
and after that
ant debug
in the root folder of this project or load the project using Eclipse and compile/run it using Eclipse.
This should give you a .apk file in the bin/ subdirectory that you can then install on your phone.
Bugs and feature requests should be reported to the issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/issues?status=new&status=open.
