Re: [pygame] Pygame for Android

Hi,

on the upcomming android you can write apps with zero java :)  Of course that is on 0.01% of peoples devices so far... but still nice for later.

"""If you're still looking at SDL-on-Android, you might want to check out

the Gingerbread SDK/NDK, which now provides a mechanism for native
apps that have access to libc, libm, libz, opengl|ES, opensl|ES,
input/events/sensors, app/activity lifecycle, resources, etc, without
the need to write any Java code.  JNI is available for access to
higher level Java APIs in the platform.

I'm not sure what the strategy for this would be. At the very least, I'll document the sound playback code I have now - and perhaps I'll try to write a compatibility layer.

pygame.mixer wraps SDL_Mixer, which in turn provides a high level interface to SDL's sound interface. I believe SDL_mixer can be built without other dependencies such as SMPEG and ogg/vorbis. So if SDL audio works on the Android then pygame.mixer should work without changes.
